Join us to help cut invasive bittersweet from the trailside at Foster Crouse Preserve. We will look to cut back other woody invasive shrubs to open up this area for more native plants to grow! Please park on Buttercup Lane off Newman Road in Okemos, we will walk in to the preserve from there. All tools are provided and no experience is necessary. Please dress appropriately and wear close toed shoes. 

Weekday Warriors occur every other Thursday (holiday dependent) from 1 pm to 3 pm at different locations in the Township. This small, but mighty weekday group meets every other Thursday to work on small, but important stewardship projects in the Township. We do invasive species removal, litter cleanup, native seed collection and sowing, sometimes all at once!

Participants are encouraged to pre-register but walk-ins are welcome. To register, or for more information, please contact Land Stewardship Coordinator Emma Campbell at ecampbell@meridian.mi.us or call/text at 517.897.3610. All workdays are outdoors and may be canceled due to inclement weather.
