| Wednesday, August 18 (9 am - 3 pm) |
Birge Preserve | A new two-mile long loop trail was constructed on the Birge Preserve in the Les Cheneaux area in 2008. Since then, we’ve been making improvements to the trail. Some wet spots are found along the trail and several sections of boardwalk are needed to make this a truly all-season trail. Put your skills to work to help complete the boardwalk construction this year. (P.S. You won’t have to carry in any lumber!) |
| Saturday August 21 |
Sault Ste. Marie | Participate in one of the aforementioned events and receive an automatic invitation to LTC’s annual Stewardship Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. This year we’re planning to hold it at the Lake Superior State University campus in the Soo, with a catered meal and a side trip to a nearby LTC preserve, or perhaps the LSSU’s Aquatic Research Lab (stay tuned for more details). |
| Tuesday, September 14 |
various locations | Spend three hours participating in the seventh annual Day of Caring, a community-wide volunteer work day coordinated by Char-Em United Way. This year we plan to host volunteer events at the Marvin Preserve in Charlevoix County (Clean-up) and Offield Preserve in Emmet County (trail maintenance). |
| Saturday, September 25 (10 am - 3 pm) |
Cook Island Preserve | Travel to the Cook Island Preserve on exotic and far-away Sugar Island (actually, it’s just east of Sault Ste. Marie) for a day to join with local islanders and LTC staff to improve access, trails, and signage; and remove old duck blinds and pig huts. (Now we’re betting you’re really intrigued!) |
