Join Friends of the St. Clair River for their longest running eco-stewardship project every Tuesday at 10 a.m. from April 28th to October 27th!
The Blue Water River Walk is a 1-mile stretch of restored shoreline on the St. Clair River in downtown Port Huron. Invasive plants along the Blue Water River Walk are among the greatest threats to wildlife habitat because they outcompete the native plants that wildlife need for food and shelter.
Join them every Tuesday morning to remove invasive plants, care for native plants, and monitor pollinators, birds and other wildlife. Become a community scientist and hone your identification skills by attending a Tuesday Trek! All ages, abilities, and experience levels are welcome.
Blue Water River Walk County Park – 2210 Military St., Port Huron. Meet at the south end, unless otherwise noted.
October schedule: 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Tuesdays – 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27
