Join us at the end of Heron Creek Preserve (end of Creekstone Trail in Okemos) to collect the first native seeds of the season! We will head in to the preserve to collect species that are seeded out in order to fuel our native plant restoration for 2026. No experience is necessary, we can teach you all you need to know. We will provide all tools and supplies needed. Please be prepared to walk over uneven terrain and go off trail. Join us to connect, learn and conserve!

Weekday Warriors occur every other week from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at a different location. Help the Meridian Conservation Corps restore habitat across our parks and preserves through activities like invasive plant removal and sowing native seeds. Stewardship workdays are a great way to get outdoors and improve our community!

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 at 517.853.4614. All workdays are outdoors and may be canceled due to inclement weather.
