Bioreserve: Field Assessment
Get outside in the Huron watershed’s woods and wetlands!
WHAT: Enjoy hiking? Birdwatching? Field botany? Join a volunteer team to perform field assessments on the watershed’s most important natural areas, as mapped by our Bioreserve Project. Sign up to join assessments listed on our Assessment Calendar throughout the spring and summer of 2010 (Calendar to launch in early 2010). Join a team of 2 or 3 others for a walk-through of a natural area (“bioreserve site”). Each assessment takes about 3 – 4 hours.
ATTEND our next training session Saturday, May 1, 2010, 10 am – 4 pm, at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens, in Ann Arbor.
TAKE NOTE: Plant ID experts needed! All volunteers are welcome, but if you are experienced in plant identification, we especially need your help! Every team will need at least one “expert” (someone who has some experience with identifying plants). If you have had a plant identification class, or have become familiar with wildflowers, grasses, and trees over time spent hiking this beautiful watershed, we’d love your help!
WHERE: Natural areas throughout the Huron Watershed.
WHEN: The third field season starts in May 2010 and continues through September 2010.
