Home Clippings Preserving the Old Growth Forest

PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.

Preserving the Old Growth Forest

February 8, 2011   •   

Friends of Belle Isle’s Environmental Stewardship Committee needs your help removing invasive plants in the park’s old growth forest. Each stewardship day, volunteers will meet and enjoy a breakfast snack, a hot drink, and a meet-and-greet.

Bring your favorite water bottle, warm boots, and a smile. Tools and work gloves will be on hand. Most work days we will remove woody invasive plants such as honeysuckle, privet, and buckthorn. The work is not very strenuous. We work along a paved path in the forest.

Upcoming dates:
Saturday, Feb 19, 9am-12pm
Saturday, March 19, 9am-12pm

Friends meet at the Belle Isle Nature Zoo at the East end of the island. Please RSVP to Mebby Pearson before each event so there will be enough bagels & coffee on hand.
