  • The prairies at MetroParks offer beautiful color displays for us during the summer and provide much needed resources for pollinators, and other wildlife. However, the prairies, like other natural areas, are threatened by non-native invasive plants and noxious weeds. These undesired plants create competition for the native forbs and grasses that make up the prairies and grasslands. Adopt-A-Prairie volunteers will be assigned a prairie, or a section of a prairie, which they will monitor for invasive plants. The volunteer will walk their assigned area and remove the invasive plants with hand tools. This volunteer opportunity requires walking through thick grass and brush where ticks, poison ivy, and other irritants found in nature may be encountered. This is an ongoing opportunity that would require the volunteer to monitor their assigned location from June-September.
