Second Saturday Workday at Saul Lake Bog Nature Preserve

Volunteer to collect native seeds and help restore grassland habitat at the nature preserve.

Join the Land Conservancy of West Michigan as we collect seeds at Saul Lake Bog Nature Preserve to expand native grassland habitat across West Michigan! This event will happen rain or shine – please come dressed for the weather and wear quality shoes/boots. Tools, water, work gloves, and snacks will be provided. There is a gravel parking lot at Saul Lake Bog. We will gather in the lot near the preserve signage at 9:00am, and will hike into the preserve together. Register to Attend About Second Saturday Events The Land Conservancy’s 20 nature preserves contain an incredible diversity of natural features including prairies, forests, and wetlands that are great places to explore. However, invasive species and altered natural processes threaten to degrade the ecological quality of many of our preserves. Active management is often needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of these wonderful natural areas, and we need your help. Fortunately, through our Second Saturdays event series, there are now plenty of opportunities to get involved! From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of every month, the Land Conservancy will host a volunteer event that focuses on ecological restoration activities including invasive species removal, seed collecting, and native plant installation. Volunteers may also be involved with trail maintenance, general clean-up, or other tasks that help visitors better enjoy our magnificent natural areas.
