Stewardship Workdays for Invasive Plant Removal

April 26, 2025
Stewardship Workdays for Invasive Plant Removal

Woldumar Nature Association continues to host our Stewardship Program for the removal of invasive plants. Our Workdays focus on the identification and removal of invasive plants from ecologically sensitive areas of Woldumar Nature Center. This includes the removal of Oriental Bittersweet, Honeysuckle bushes and other invasive plants.
You do not have to have any prior experience to participate as the team will go over how to identify invasive plant species, as well as field techniques for long-term management. All tools, and equipment for removing these plants will be available to each participant. This includes clippers, herbicide bottles, protective plastic gloves, work aprons, saws and loppers. Participants should bring their own working gloves and protective eyewear if available. Long pants, long sleeves and water-resistant / proof shoes or boots are recommended.
We will be meeting every other Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 in front of Woldumar's old Visitor Center. Please plan to dress for the weather. As weather warms, we may meet earlier.
Please email Judy Gigante at judygigante@att.net if you are able to attend, so that she can let you know if the session has to be canceled due to weather.

Final Day of BioBlitz

April 30, 2025

Woldumar is excited to be a BioBlitz site again this year! During the month of April, get outdoors and explore nature, locating and identifying all kinds of wonders. Learn more about the event:

The MSU Science Festival invites our community to participate in observing the world around us during the 2025 MSU Science Festival in the month of April. Let's work together to celebrate science, collect as many different observations as possible, and contribute to scientific research! With the iNaturalist app, you just take a picture of any living organism (animals, plants, fungi, insects, and more), and the community will help identify which species it is. You can participate by exploring the wildlife at your local park, nature center, natural area, your backyard, or any nature near you.

You can learn more about the MSU Science Festival and other events happening all month long by visiting https://sciencefestival.msu.edu/
