Each month, numerous state parks in both southeast and southwest Michigan host volunteer stewardship workdays.

In August, volunteers will help with prairie restoration (removing invasive plants such as spotted knapweed) and cutting invasive, non-native shrubs. These workdays are a great way to spend time in Michigan's great outdoors, while helping restore the state's natural ecosystems.

More information about volunteer stewardship workdays, including a calendar of opportunities, is available at michigan.gov/dnrvolunteers.

To volunteer, please register by completing and submitting the stewardship volunteer registration form.
