Stewardship Workday at Braun Nature Area

REGISTER AT: http://nap.a2gov.org/A2Braun

Malletts Creek runs through Braun Nature Area on its way to South Pond and the Huron River. The Huron River Watershed Council describes the Mallets creekshed as having less than 8% natural lands! Braun’s natural areas protect the creek – and the Huron River – from the negative effects of stormwater runoff like excess phosphorus and other pollutants. Volunteer to remove exotic plants with NAP and help native plants thrive so they can soak up #rainwater and #runoff, filter pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat.

Meet at the park entrance on Chalmers Dr. Depending on the weather, volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs or pull herbaceous weeds from the ground. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail. Preregister through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. More information: How to prepare for a NAP workday (PDF).
