Become a Steward of the Park

SPRING STEWARDSHIP DAY: Date TBD

Help keep Michigan Legacy Art Park beautiful by lending a hand.

Stewardship Days are a great way to give back to your Art Park. Many volunteers are needed to rake around sculptures, clean sculptures, pick up sticks along the trails, spread mulch, realign the rocks that outline the perimeter of the parking lot that were moved by the snowplow, prune branches, organize the gatehouse, and more. There are many jobs for many people of all ages and abilities.

How to get involved:

  • Arrive at the Art Park trailhead at 9 a.m– registration is not needed but is helpful.  You can send a quick email to [email protected] or you can submit the Volunteer Interest Form here.
  • An Art Park representative will greet you and help you choose a task and get started
  • Bring work gloves, a rake, water, leaf blower, and other outdoor maintenance tools
  • Expect to work no later than Noon – and stop by even if for only an hour. Every little bit helps.
