That includes addressing the many threats posed by invasive plants and re-establishing native plant life.</p><h4><strong>Stewardship Saturdays will take place from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on the third Saturday of the month.</strong></h4><p>Pick one or more days to come out and help. Each month will bring opportunities for removal of various invasive plants according to current best management practices, etc.&nbsp;<strong>Children must be at least 12 years of age to participate.</strong></p><p>All equipment for removing invasive plants will be provided by the Center. But if you can bring a sturdy pair of long-handled branch loppers, please do.&nbsp; Also, please bring your own drinking water and work gloves for use in the field.</p><p>This activity involves moderate physical activity in off trail natural habitat areas. Wear suitable work clothes that can be scraped and poked by twigs and/or the occasional thorny plant, or have contact with sticky bur seeds. A good pair of sturdy work shoes/boots is also a must. No sandals, please.</p></div> </div> <div> <div><article> <div> <div> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/news_banner/public/2025-05/Stewardship%20Saturdays_%20apr-sept_2.jpg?h=b287e4ee&amp;itok=vI0kPaPy" width="1360" height="762" alt="students stand in field of pail sunflowers and smile at the camera. text overlay reads 2025 stewardship saturday third saturdays monthly 1-4pm at the EIC."> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div class="date-recur-date"><time datetime="2025-06-21T13:00:00Z">2025-06-21T13:00:00-0400</time> to<time datetime="2025-06-21T16:00:00Z">2025-06-21T16:00:00-0400</time> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div><div> <h2><a href="/buildingspace/environmental-interpretive-center"><div> <div>Environmental Interpretive Center</div> </div> </a></h2> <div> <div>EIC</div> </div> <div> <div><p class="address" translate="no"><span class="address-line1">4901 Evergreen Rd</span><br> <span class="locality">Dearborn</span>, <span class="administrative-area">MI</span> <span class="postal-code">48128</span><br> <span class="country">United States</span></p></div> </div> <div> <div>https://goo.gl/maps/XpZNtb71UUrNfWTQ8</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div><a href="https://google.com/maps?q=US" class="address-map-link"><p class="address" translate="no"><span class="country">United States</span></p></a></div> </div> <div> <div>On Campus</div> </div> <div> <div>EIC</div> </div> <div> <div>Rick Simek</div> </div> <div> <div>3135836371</div> </div> <div> <div>rsimek@umich.edu</div> </div> <div> <div><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSealXiGn6NNAztW3ERt9aed_5jbMhUX1MjC0I75yhzdaznGLw/viewform?usp=header">Click to register!</a></div> </div> <div> <div><a href="/audience/admitted-students" hreflang="en">Admitted Students</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/current-students" hreflang="en">Current Students</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/everyone" hreflang="en">Everyone</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/graduate-admissions" hreflang="en">Graduate Admissions</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/local-community-members" hreflang="en">Local community members</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/parents" hreflang="en">Parents</a></div> <div><a href="/audience/staff" hreflang="en">Staff</a></div> </div> <div> <div><a href="/organizational-unit/environmental-interpretive-center" hreflang="en">Environmental Interpretive Center</a></div> </div> <div> <div><a href="/event-type/community-service-volunteerism" hreflang="en">Community Service / Volunteerism</a></div> </div> <div> <div> <figure> <div> <div> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2025-05/Stewardship%20Saturdays_%20apr-sept_2.jpg?h=b287e4ee&amp;itok=xjFhkmHf" width="480" height="480" alt="students stand in field of pail sunflowers and smile at the camera. text overlay reads 2025 stewardship saturday third saturdays monthly 1-4pm at the EIC."> </div> </div> </figure> </div> </div> Fri, 16 May 2025 13:21:50 +0000 lmallard 319622 at
