2010 Volunteer Schedule - 11/11

To better reach every county in our service area, we’re organizing volunteer projects in each of the 11 counties we serve: 11 projects/ 11 counties. Every project is different, covering the many different facets of our work to conserve the forests, lakes and streams of Northeast Michigan.

May 15 – Montmorency County – Twin Lakes Watershed Stewardship
What do ice shoves, waves, turf grass and foot traffic have in common? Each stresses shoreline ecosystems, and each can easily be remedied. Huron Pines is bringing together volunteers on the Twin Lakes to learn about natural ways to strengthen shorelines and enhance riparian habitats.
May 29 – Crawford County – Manistee River Monitoring
Simply by collecting and identifying the bugs that live in the water, volunteers have the ability to determine the water’s quality, and will do so at several locations in the Manistee River watershed.
June 10 – Presque Isle County – Silver Creek
Major reconstruction of road/stream crossings on Silver Creek begins this summer to restore fish passage and reduce the sediment pollution coming from the roadway. Join Huron Pines staff and local volunteers to get in the water and monitor the condition of Silver Creek.
