Join the Land Conservancy of West Michigan for a workday at Lamberton Lake Fen Nature Preserve! We’ll be removing glossy buckthorn, an invasive shrub, as part of our ongoing restoration and stewardship of this rare ecosystem.

This event will happen rain, snow, or shine, so please wear boots and come dressed for the weather. Tools, water, work gloves, and snacks will be provided.

Please parallel park along the sides of Plaza Drive. We will gather at the trailhead and will hike into the preserve together.

About Second Saturday Events

The Land Conservancy of West Michigan owns and cares for 20 nature preserves protecting a diverse mosaic of native natural communities, from prairies and forests to bogs and freshwater dunes. The permanent protection of these places often requires active management to ensure they stay healthy and resilient in the face of encroaching invasive species, climate change, and altered natural processes.

At our Second Saturday Workdays, we invite volunteers to participate in these acts of care. From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the second Saturday of every month, volunteers meet at a preserve and help manage invasive species, plant native seeds, maintain trails, and more. Together, we create visible, lasting change we can return to and build upon. Here, your hands shape the future, and the future has your fingerprints on it.
