SUMMARY:Stewardship Workdays at Capital City Bird Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer Event – Stewardship Workdays at Capital City Bird Sanctuary\nHeld every Wednesday starting June 24 through October 28\, 9 am – 12 pm\n6001 Delta River Drive\, Lansing\, MI\nEvery Wednesday\, Michigan Audubon staff and volunteers gather to remove invasive plants that threaten habitat health at our Lansing sanctuary. Tasks vary by season\, but typically range from hand-pulling weeds to hand-sawing down invasive shrubs. \nThink of these workdays as “extreme gardening” – these are mildly strenuous workdays that involve hiking around the sanctuary and manually removing invasive weeds\, often in challenging locations. A good workout is guaranteed! We do take many snack and water breaks throughout the workday. \nWild raspberries\, poison ivy\, and biting insects are common so please dress appropriately with close-toed boots\, long sleeves\, pants\, and a hat. Insect repellent and sunscreen are recommended\, and we will have extras available. \n​If you are allergic to stinging insects\, please bring an EpiPen and inform the ​event leader.\nPlease bring garden​ing or leather​ gloves if you have them\, but we do have extras on site to borrow. As always\, we will provide water and snacks! \n​If you have questions\, or would like to sign up to attend a workday\, please email Rachelle Roake at RRoake@michiganaudubon.org.

SUMMARY:Sandhill Crane Viewing at Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Crane Viewing – Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary\nOctober-November \nSandhill Crane viewing is available at the Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary northeast of Jackson\, with volunteers from the Jackson Audubon Society will be on hand weekends October through November from 4 p.m. until dusk. Volunteers will have binoculars and scopes available to help you view the birds. \nIt can take several hours for all the cranes to return to the roost when they fly in for the evening. But when the cranes fly out in the morning right at sunrise\, all the birds pretty much leave at once\, which makes for a spectacular viewing opportunity at Haehnle Sanctuary. \nThe Haehnle Sanctuary parking area is located across the road from 9011 Seymour Road in Jackson County. The number of cranes roosting at Haehnle is dependent on the water level in Mud Lake. On Tuesdays\, the Sanctuary’s website is updated with the latest number of birds counted. Visit the website at haehnlesanctuary.org. It also has maps and directions to assist you in finding the sanctuary.
