The Karner Blue Nature Sanctuary, 6935 Spruce Ave, Newaygo, is having a volunteer work day on Sunday, December 3rd. Volunteers are needed to help cut and haul brush between 9am – 1pm. Volunteers can show up any time and stay as long as they like. It is recommended that volunteers dress for the weather, wear closed toe shoes or boots and work gloves. Some tools will be provided, but it would be helpful if volunteers could also bring pruners, loppers or pruning saws. Water and refreshments will be provided. Brush cutting is important at this time of year for Newaygo’s sensitive and unique native habitats. Clearing out brush gives room for new native plant growth and deters invasive species growth. It also helps to prepare the area for future prescribed burns. Cancellation notice due to weather or other schedule changes will be posted by December 2nd at noon on the Newaygo County Environmental Coalition Facebook Page and their website Calendar of Events (www.nc-ec.org). Stuart Goldman, Conservation Coordinator for the Michigan Nature Association, will lead the workday. He can be contacted at 517-643-6864, or by email: sgoldman@michigannature.org.
