Volunteers needed for winter stewardship days at state parks and recreation areas in southeastern Michigan
With warmer temperatures on the horizon, March offers several opportunities for residents to get outdoors, enjoy the fresh air and avoid cabin fever. State recreation officials at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently announced the schedule of upcoming volunteer stewardship workdays to be held at southeastern Michigan state parks and recreation areas. Volunteers are needed to cut invasive shrubs in natural areas within state parks and recreation areas, which helps protect and restore unique natural areas.
