Help BEE-utify Kellogg Community College with On the Ground!

Americorps • August 16, 2023

Volunteers will help turn this rock garden into a pollinator-friendly oasis on September 13!

MUCC’s On the Ground (OTG) program will partner with Kellogg Community College (KCC) to improve pollinator habitat on campus by installing a native pollinator garden outside of the Davidson Building, and we need your help!

This project aims to engage students, faculty and members of the public in planting and mulching native shrubs and wildflowers to enhance pollinator habitat and beautify KCC’s campus. Some of the native species to be planted include Common Milkweed, Bee Balm and Black-eyed Susan. These native flowers are essential to a diverse community of pollinators such as bees, butterflies and songbirds. 

Volunteers are needed on Wednesday, September 13 from 9 AM to noon. Volunteers will meet outside the main entrance to the Davidson Building on campus. Parking is available on-site. Volunteers will receive free lunch as well as an appreciation gift as thanks for helping improve wildlife habitat.

On Saturday, July 12, 2025, MUCC hosted another successful Manistee River Cleanup at High Bridge Boat Launch in partnership with Steelhead Manifesto, USDA Forest Service, and the Michigan DNR. This annual event has taken place for the last 11 years, with MUCC having been involved from the very beginning. This is also one of our highest attended events with around 60 volunteers each year committed to cleaning up the river for all to enjoy.
