Volunteer Event: Callahan Pathway Clean Up

3356 East Ferry Street,Detroit MI 48211

09 October, 2021

Description

Support our Detroit Bird City Project by helping us clean up the pathways at Callahan Park! We will be spreading woodchips on the newer pathways and cleaning up the older pathways by laying fresh woodchips and pulling weeds. We will have some supplies but we appreciate anyone bringing their own work gloves, trowels for weeding, shovels, rakes, and wheel barrows for moving woodchips. Callahan Park is part of the Detroit Bird City project to restore native bird and pollinator habitat in disused Detroit city parks. Before restoration Callahan was indistinguishable from a vacant lot with overgrown grass and plenty of trash. In 2019 we planted the two acre park with 39 different kinds of native flowers and 6 varieties of native grasses. This Summer the park has bloomed beautifully and we will add another two acres of wildflower meadow to Callahan Park in the spring of 2022. Well maintained pathways are essential to keep the park accessible and welcoming for all! See below for more information about Callahan Park and the community benefits. We will have sanitizing products and extra masks available. We ask that if you have been exposed to anyone with Covid-19 or are feeling unwell to please stay home. ***After registering, you will receive Detroit Audubon's bi-monthly e-newsletter, Flyway Express.
