Volunteer Work Days 2012
Join our Stewardship Work Days Crew!
We hold work days throughout the year, many of which are too spontaneous to publish in our newsletter. If you would like to be on our Project Volunteer list, we will send you an email to let you know about upcoming work days. Tasks include trail work, cleanups, invasive plant control, tree planting, and more. Keep an eye on our Facebook page, too, where we post upcoming activities. Contact Cindy at 231-344-1011 or cindy@landtrust.org for more information, or to sign up.

Vermilion Point Preserve Chippewa County |
For the sixth year in a row, we will be pulling spotted knapweed at Vermilion Point. This high priority project is a cooperative effort of Little Traverse Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy, Lake Superior State University, and the Eastern UP Cooperative Weed Management Area, and will help keep Vermilion’s habitat in shape for Piping Plovers and Lake Huron Tansy. This is a rare opportunity to stay overnight at Vermilion in the historic Life Saving Station barracks. Contact Cindy at 231-344-1011 or cindy@landtrust.org for more information, or to sign up.
