National Public Lands Day at Humbug Marsh
On September 27, 2008, over 50 volunteers arrived at the Humbug Marsh Unit to groom trails, pick up trash, and remove invasive plants. It is estimated that 1,600 locations nationwide hosted a total of 120,000 volunteers. This was the 15th annual National Public Lands Day and the first hosted by the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.
Pictured above are some of the volunteers who donated their time during National Public Lands Day.
Volunteers wood chipped over * mile of trail. Here wood chips that were brought in by wheel barrow are being raked smooth.
Volunteers removed invasive plant species such as buckthorn.
