Tucked away on a bend of the Huron River and behind expansive soccer fields is Fuller Park’s floodplain forest. When springtime rain raises the water level of the Huron River, Fuller Park’s low bottomland deciduous forest temporarily floods. This natural system of water storage helps mitigate flooding events downstream. As climate changes and rainfall patterns become more unpredictable, this ecosystem is important to maintain. Help us protect and restore this crucial habitat by removing non-native plants. Meet us at parking lot at the end of Island Drive (map: tinyurl.com/CedarBendIslandDrive).
