Meadow and Pollinator Walk at Palmer Park

Join Detroit Bird Alliance and USFWS to learn about installing a meadow while also exploring the creatures that call this habitat home.
About this Event

The walk will start and end at the North corner of Palmer Park where two native plant meadows are installed. Two acres of meadow were planted in 2020 and an additonal nine acres of meadow were planted in 2022.

This walk will be co-led by DBA's Ava Landgraf and Meri Holm who works for the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as a Partners for Fish and Wildlife Coordinator. Ava and Meri will teach us all about the importance of meadow habitat, the best methods for meadow restoration, and the pollinators and other insects that need this habitat to survive.

We will have binoculars for attendees to borrow. We recommend wearing long pants and shirts due to mosquitos and other bugs. Bug spray may also be useful.

Bathroom facilities are not available.
