Are you curious about the natural world around you? Maybe exploring
career pathway options? Then join your Outdoor Education Team and the
Michigan Nature Association for a day as a "botanist" and
learn how you can be an eco-steward!
What does a career
in environmental conservation look like? Join the Michigan Nature
Association for our "Green Career Trek Patch Program" to
explore how you can become a future conservation leader. Learn how
scientists survey for different types of special and rare species, the
importance of managing habitat for endangered plants and animals, and
gain field skills to help you traverse Michigan's many different
ecosystems!
The patch program curriculum is designed to
give participants an in-depth view to several different career paths
within the Environmental Conservation field - from bee scientists, to
endangered orchid scientists, to rattlesnake scientists - there is
bound to be a specialty that sparks individual curiosity!
Root Out Garlic Mustard:
A part of the regular care and keeping of natural areas is
watching out for and removing invasive species! In Michigan, garlic
mustard is a plant that emerges in spring and can out compete our
native spring ephemerals and wildflowers, like trillium. Join the
Michigan Nature Association for a day of stewardship at Alice Moore
Woods in the heart of St. Clair to scout for, and remove garlic
mustard.
