Milkweed planting with UPLC
Ford River bank home
Public Welcome Family Friendly Free Event Hands-On/How-To Workshop Lots of Physical Activity
The Central U.P. Chapter of Wild Ones is patterning with the Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy to present an opportunity for hands-on learning and contributing to a habitat improvement project on private land along the Ford River south of Escanaba. We will join Clare Fastiggi, Lands Program Manager for the UPLC, to learn about the mission of the organization and their part in supporting habitat improvement at this site. We’ll pitch in as each is comfortable to plant common and swamp milkweed plugs to create pollinator habitat along the river. For anyone interested in native plantings of your own, there is no better way to learn than by doing!
We’ll also break out the grill for a riverfront BBQ after we’ve all worked up an appetite! All are welcome.
