Job description

Join us for this planting workday where we will be adding native plants to the bioswale in Dolph Park. We plan to plant along the shoreline and within the bottom of the bioswale. Weโ€™ll use a new, fun way of planting aquatic plants where we wrap the roots of the plant with a biodegradable sack holding a rock and then toss the plant into the water. The rock will let the roots sink down where it will take root. Bring sturdy boots or tall rubber boots, if you have them, but we will be able to plant by standing on dry land.

Event Details

  • Location: Dolph Park
  • Meeting Point: We'll meet near the Dolph Bioswale at Parklake and Lakeview Drive.

What Youโ€™ll Be Doing

  • Wrap roots of native plants
  • Standing on land or in the water and planting or tossing the plants into the water
  • Supporting the long-term health of this bioswale

Hazards & Safety Notes

This work involves the usual hazards of being in nature, including:

  • Off-trail walking on uneven surfaces and difficult footing
  • Muddy conditions depending on weather
  • Expect to get dirty, and possibly wet, while working outdoors

What to Bring

  • Sturdy boots or tall rubber boots, if you have them
  • Layers to dress for the weather
  • Filled water bottle

We Provide

  • Plants and materials needed for planting
  • Guidance from experienced staff, including Catie Wytychak from the Water Resources Commissioner's Office
  • A chance to enjoy time in nature while giving back to your community

Funding is provided by the Systems Planning Unit of the City of Ann Arbor.
