Description

Join the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy and CAKE CISMA to help restore and protect the incredible ecosystems of Antrim Creek Natural Area through invasive plant removal! Native wildflowers, mushrooms, trees, and shrubs that rely on these healthy habitats are currently under threat of being displaced by aggressive invasive plants. The Basics: CAKE CISMA & GTRLC will supply gloves and tools. We will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, healthy habitats, and the importance of the work you will be doing. No experience necessary - just come ready to learn something new! This activity is moderately strenuous, with volunteers often bending and kneeling to pull or dig out plants. Porta johns are available at the parking area. What should I bring? Dress for the weather! Always check the forecast in advance Sturdy, closed-toe shoes that can handle some mud Bring a reusable water bottle and some snacks Sunscreen and bug spray for your safety and comfort Your favorite pair of work gloves, if preferred
