Volunteer Opportunity- Poseyville Preserve- Native Plant Installation -May 20th
Chippewa Nature Center has recently done wildflower and grass plantings at the new Poseyville Preserve. To enhance biodiversity, we are adding wildflower plugs to different areas. Please bring a hand trowel if you have one and a water bottle. As the area is newly planted, some areas may be largely dirt/soft dirt if the ground is wet, so choose footwear accordingly. CNC will provide gloves. We will meet at the Poseyville Preserve parking lot at 303 Benson Street, Midland MI 48460. We will have a group in the morning from 10 until noon and a second group in the afternoon from 1 until 3. Sign up either at our next program or contacting me at [email protected]. I’ll put you on the list!

Sales Table at the Nature Niche Plant Sale- May 15 and 16th and Chippewa Nature Center Plant Sale – May 29th and 30th
Our two big fund raisers are coming up this month. We sell native plant items such as garden journals, plant labeling stakes and markers, and gardening aprons. We use these funds to fund our grant program, provide a small honorarium to our speakers and cover members’ admission fees for external programs. To generate funds for our treasury, we have a sales table at both the Nature Niche and Chippewa Nature Center plant sales. It is also a great opportunity to inform people about Wild Ones and our chapter. Please consider lending us an hour or two of your time at one of the sales. Sign up sheets will be at the next meeting in May or contact me at [email protected] to sign-up.
