Join in and make an enormous difference for your Rouge River!

Site Coordinator: Rosina Newton, Restoration Assistant, Friends of the Rouge

Project description: Thank you for your interest in working for a better Rouge River by sprucing up the rain gardens at Claude Allison Park this spring!

Maintaining this garden gives our native plants what they need to grow and spread, so they can continue to do their job of collecting and filtering stormwater coming off of the pavement, providing habitat for songbirds and pollinators, and looking beautiful!

To maintain these gardens at this time of year, we may be:

  • Pulling out weeds
  • Cutting back winter stems and spreading their seeds back into the garden
  • Picking up trash
  • Planting new native plants
  • Mulching
  • Doing other maintenance tasks

We provide the tools! Bring your favorite pair of gloves, or we will provide some. Bring your own drinking water bottle; we will provide snacks!

Workday location:  Claude Allison Park – 18250 Beech Daly, Redford Charter Twp, MI 48240
