Our longest running eco-stewardship projects takes place every Tuesday at 10am from May to October! Join Friends of the St. Clair River and St. Clair County Parks for our 10th anniversary of stewardship at the Blue Water River Walk, a 1-mile stretch of restored shoreline on the St. Clair River. Invasive plants along the Blue Water River Walk are among the greatest threats to wildlife habitat. These intruders outcompete the native plants. We work every Tuesday to remove invasive plants, care for the native plants, and monitor pollinators, birds and other wildlife.Become a community scientist and hone your identification skills by attending a Tuesday Trek! Email Friends of SCR Restoration Coordinator at brooke@scriver.org for more info.
Goodells County Park
Wednesdays - 10 am - 12 pm
Ready to learn about native plants or share your own gardening tips and techniques in a hands-on setting? Volunteer with Jeanne Mackay, other Master Gardeners of St. Clair County and St. Clair County Parks on Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. this season in the Eco Gardens at Goodells County Park. The many Michigan native and ornamental plant beds at the park are excellent examples of Eco Gardens because they not only look great, they also support pollinators, birds and other wildlife and require little to no watering and no fertilizers. Lend a hand, learn and share as we work to restore and expand gardens and green space enjoyed by thousands of human and wildlife visitors every year.
