Volunteer Day! Native Planting at Dune Harbor Park

In partnership with the Muskegon Conservation District, join us for a fantastic day of aquatic native planting!

During this event, volunteers will help plant native plants in the parking lot landscape of Dune Harbor Park to create native gardens. Converting these spaces to native plantings provides many benefits, including improved habitat for pollinators and wildlife, better stormwater absorption, reduced maintenance, and increased biodiversity.

Event Date & Time:

Friday, May 15th, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (full shift not required)

If all scheduled plants are installed before the end of the event, we will continue planting any remaining plants from previous workdays.

What to bring:

• Closed-toed shoes and clothing suitable for planting and getting dirty

• Water Bottles

Muskegon Conservation District and Muskegon County Parks will provide the necessary planting tools and gloves.

We ask that all volunteers please sign up online through United Way, under the Muskegon Area Parks & Greenways Coalition page, so volunteer hours can be tracked for grant reporting purposes.

A special thank you to the Consumers Energy Foundation, whose Planet Award grant made this and many other events in 2025 and 2026 possible.
