Join us at Lake Lansing North Preserve (please meet at the 1000 Wild Ginger Trail entrance) to hand pull invasive hedge parsley (Torilis japonica) from ecologically sensitive areas throughout the preserve. We will also identify native plants and talk about why invasive species management is so important to our natural areas! No experience is necessary, and all tools are provided. Please expect to work off trail at times, walking over uneven terrain and possibly over downed logs. Join us in the forest to connect, learn, and conserve!
Weekday Warriors occur every other Thursday (holiday dependent) from 1 pm to 3 pm at different locations in the Township. This small, but mighty weekday group meets every other Thursday to work on small, but important stewardship projects in the Township. We do invasive species removal, litter cleanup, native seed collection and sowing, sometimes all at once!
Participants are encouraged to pre-register but walk-ins are welcome. To register, or for more information, please contact Land Stewardship Coordinator Emma Campbell at ecampbell@meridian.mi.us or call/text at 517.897.3610. All workdays are outdoors and may be canceled due to inclement weather.
