SUMMARY:Conservation Stories:  BirdSong Nature Preserve and Sibley Prairie
DESCRIPTION:The BirdSong Nature Preserve will soon become the newest addition to the protected lands in Superior Township. Stretching over one mile\, the preserve will protect a variety of habitats and consolidate a two-mile corridor of protected land. Sibley Prairie\, in Brownstown Township\, is the largest and highest-quality lakeplain prairie remaining in the entire state. A coalition of groups is working to save it from development. Learn about Sibley Prairie’s significance and how you can help. \nPresenter: Jack Smiley\, President\, Michigan Land Conservancy \nThis program will be live streamed on our YouTube channel (click on the “LIVE” link appearing on our channel when the program is in session).

SUMMARY:Ecological Restoration at Searles Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance owns a nature preserve? We do! Searles Nature Preserve is a 50-acre natural area that protects the headwaters of Stony Creek. \nDid you also know that 97% of North American land birds rely on animal\, mostly insect\, protein to raise their young? Most insects depend on specific native host plants for reproduction — which means a healthy\, diverse plant community is essential for sustaining bird populations. Learn more here. \nJoin us as we remove invasive species and improve habitat diversity to support the birds we love. Tools and guidance are provided. Please bring leather work gloves if you have them — we’ll also have some available to borrow. Wear long pants\, tall socks\, and closed-toe shoes or boots. \nDirections: Meet at the entrance to the preserve on Bolla Road between Crane and Stony Creek Roads. Map here
