Join City Year recruits as we clean up Belle Isle!

The purpose of this task is the preservation of Belle Isle's old growth forest by pinpointing invasive plants such as honeysuckle and privet, the primary invaders. These plants do not provide the proper nutrition for migratory birds. It's sort of like providing "junk food" for birds. Plants like these create monocultures in the forest understory, crowding out native plants that are nutritious for birds. Ecological balance is our prime concern.

Please join us in doing work that is so needed in Belle Isle's natural areas. It's a small commitment; the work is not taxing; and safety is a priority. We start at 9 a.m. and end at 1 pm. Please no children under age six. All children must be supervised by an adult.

Meet at 9am - Belle Isle Casino
