Plant pines to help restore Kirtland's warbler habitat

Your help is needed to plant jack pines on May 6 in Grayling to provide nesting sites for the tiny Kirtland's warbler. This rare bird, recovered from the endangered species list in 2019, nests only on the ground under young jack pine trees.

"Imagine the satisfaction of visiting in five or six years and seeing Kirtland's warblers nesting in trees you helped plant," said William Rapai, director of the Kirtland Warbler's Alliance. The Alliance is hosting this event.
