SUMMARY:Martha Mott Volunteer Workday
DESCRIPTION:Mott Sanctuary 9/12/23. Unit 1 middle of unit looking west. Photo by Chad Machinski \nHello! \nWe are having a Martha Mott Bird Sanctuary Volunteer Workday on Friday\, September 20th\, from 9am to 12pm! We will continue to chip away at Autumn Olive and other woody plants in the prairie. This workday will be Conservation Manager Chad Machinski; he will outline the scope of work for everyone and make sure everyone understands the goals of the day. Please bring your own hand tools for this workday. If you have power tools such as a chainsaw or brush cutter\, along with proper personal protective equipment\, please bring those if you would like. We may not use all power tools brought. \nWe will keep everyone notified of any changes to the workday due to weather. Thank you all for the work that you do! With your help\, Martha Mott will become the savanna it wants to be. \nPlease come dressed and supplied appropriately for working outdoors in the cold\, this includes: gloves\, closed toed shoes\, pants and jacket. The workday will be cancelled if there is inclement weather or poor air quality. \nWe are looking forward to seeing you there! \nMartha Mott Sanctuary is located on 44th Avenue in Mattawan between 24th Street and Woodview Drive. \nMartha Mott Sanctuary comprises 80 acres and is believed to have been Oak Savanna prior to European settlement. Since then\, sections of the property have been grazed and farmed. Michigan Audubon is working towards restoring sections of this sanctuary to Oak Savanna\, characterized by fire and a sparse Oak canopy. \nFor specific questions regarding the workday\, contact Chad Machinski at cmachinski@michiganaudubon.org \nMichigan Audubon connects birds and people for the benefit of both through conservation\, education\, and research efforts in the state of Michigan

SUMMARY:Fall Whitefish Point Bird Observatory Birding Tour
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in fall birding at Whitefish Point Bird Observatory in the Upper Peninsula? Are you looking to advance your birding skills? Join Michigan Audubon and an experienced birding guide for the thrills of fall migration at WPBO in Paradise\, Mich.\, and surrounding hotspots. \nDuring the 2-day tour\, we will enjoy the autumn colors and relish the excitement of migrating waterbirds\, fall warblers\, and owls.

Tours are limited to 12 participants\, and we anticipate them filling fast. Tours cost $150 for Michigan Audubon members and $175 for non-members. Please note that the fee does not include meals or lodging. \nThis tour is rated MODERATE. Travel is by car caravan with foot travel at a variety of sites. Some sites are paved\, others are grass or gravel paths. Participants should be able to withstand a variety of weather possibilities\, including rain\, wind\, and sun. \nThe September tour has sold out\, but you join a waiting list in case of cancellation. \nClick here to join the waiting list for the September Tour
