Named for the dramatic thickets of buttonbush shrubs that bloom in the “inundated shrub swamp” in late July, Buttonbush Nature Area is only two years old –one of Ann Arbor’s newest parks. Join us to remove non-native plants, and spend some time getting to know this new and unique park. Meet at the park entrance at the end of Hickory Point Drive (map: tinyurl.com/ButtonbushHickoryPoint).
