Join NAP at Bird Hills Nature Area for World Soil Day! #WorldSoilDay is held annually to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. Bird Hills Nature Area is the largest natural area in the city at 146 acres, and the rich diversity of native plant species found in the park ranks it second highest overall in the city’s Floristic Quality Assessment of its natural areas. Connect with others doing meaningful work by cutting and removing invasive species in the park. Meet at the Bird Road entrance to this park, west of Huron River Drive (map: tinyurl.com/BirdHillsBird).
