Volunteer Workday (9/27/25): Remove Invasive Species at Johnson Nature Preserve
Join us for a special extended workday to help remove invasive woody species. You are welcome to volunteer during one of the two shifts—10am-12pm or 12pm-2pm—or stay for the full event from 10am to 2pm. We will take a break at noon for water and snacks. Volunteers will cut back shrubs to two-inch stumps and help haul cut plant material. Stumps will be treated by Legacy staff to ensure these hardy invasive plants don’t re-sprout in the spring.
- Please dress for the weather and in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
- Pants and closed toe shoes are a must, regardless of the temperature, to protect from poison ivy and getting scratched up while working outside.
- Legacy will provide tools and work gloves, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have a pair you like.
- Don’t forget a water bottle and sunscreen.
- We also suggest you bring bug spray to reduce the risk of exposure to ticks and other biting insects.
Meet at Lillie Park South at the red gazebo (pavilion # 2) near the east edge of the parking lot, located at 4365 Platt Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48108
