SUMMARY:Stewardship Days
DESCRIPTION:Help create healthier habitats for Oakland County Parks
Help restore park land and understory for native spring flowers during Stewardship Day from 10 a.m.-noon April 23 at Wint Nature Center in Independence Oaks County Park, Clarkston. The focus will be hand pulling garlic mustard and motherwort.
