Riverbend Preserve nature walk

Join the River Raisin Watershed Council and the Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation staff Sunday March 1st from 2 to 4 pm on a walk around the natural grassy and gravel trails at Riverbend Preserve, located at 12639 Allen Road in Bridgewater Township.

Celebrate the National Day of Unplugging by keeping your phones and tablets in your pockets and focusing on the beauty and wonder of nature! You’ll talk about the plants and animals seen along the way and learn about the restoration Washtenaw County is working on at the preserve. Come with questions about nature, a sense of adventure, and good hiking shoes! Dress for the weather!

The event is free, but organizers ask you RSVP on www.eventbrite.com (search “Riverbend Preserve”).

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
