THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN VOLUNTEERING AT GRNA!
GREEN ELK RAPIDS NATURE FEST
Sat, June 18 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm
We're looking for 1-2 volunteers to help staff the GRNA booth at this year's Nature Fest. We will be one of about 40 nature-oriented organizations at booth stations located around beautiful Veteran's Memorial Park in Elk Rapids. The day's activities also include noted speakers, activities for kids, entertainment, and refreshments. Come represent GRNA at this family-focused community outreach event! Contact James at james@grassriver.org if you're interested.
SUMMER WEDNESDAY WORK-BEES
Wed, June 22; July 6 & 20; Aug 3, 17, & 31; all from 9:00 - 11:00 am
Come help us keep the trails and grounds in good shape this summer during our regular stewardship work bees. Activities will vary depending on the week, but may include trimming back branches along trails, spreading wood chips, weeding the native plant gardens, pulling invasive plants, and more. Come dressed for the weather.
LEARNING OPPORTUNITY: INVASIVE PLANT IDENTIFICATION
Thurs, July 14 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Join us in learning how to identify common invasive plants in the natural area and the surrounding region. This is a great primer for helping us control invasives at the July 20th stewardship work-bee and for beginning to identify invasive plants you might have on your own property. We will also discuss the different control options specific to each species. Email Emily at emily@grassriver.org to sign up.
RIVERFEST VOLUNTEER
Ongoing through August
Each year, GRNA holds our primary fundraiser in August. This year the date is Thurs, Aug 11th. A committee of volunteers helps us plan and execute this event, and there is always room for more help in several areas. Jobs that are ongoing include soliciting auction donations - we particularly need help for this in Elk Rapids and Traverse City - and planning the event itself. On the day of the event, we need help setting up, staffing the registration table, serving as a greeter, showing people to their seats, being a spotter at the live auction, taking photographs, staffing check out at the end of the evening, and tearing down after the event. If you're interested in any of these jobs, please contact Betsy at betsy@grassriver.org or at (231) 838-0269.
