Ashley Grace

Playing the violin is the most fun when its for a cause! Ashley loves to volunteer her time and get her musical friends in gear to perform at benefits like the annual Belinda Sue Fund Zoo Walk and Belinda Sue Fund Gala.

Everyone should volunteer with Friends of the Rouge!! This program teaches groups of students from middle school's to be scientists, collecting data about the health of the watershed through biological indicator species (bugs, frogs, fish, etc.) that reflect the long-term health of the watershed. Ashley's favorite part to play is getting into her weighters and collecting bugs/larvae for the entomology portion.

One of Ashley's favorite things to do while volunteering for the Detroit Zoo is taking care of the plants in the greenhouses!

Here you can see Ashley and her team helping an elderly woman with her yard work. The Plymouth United Way rally's up groups of volunteers for the annual "Rake N Go" to help those who cannot do their own yard work.

Every trip Ashley takes is all about donating to sanctuaries, zoo's and aquariums. Ashley and her fiancee Malachi take two trips per year to visit these organizations that making a difference.

Do you have an event coming up that could use a little zest? Make sure you look into live performers and ask them to donate their time! Contact Ashley for more details.

Ashley's family goats help surrounding areas by eating invasive plants! With fewer invasive plants, full bellies, and preserving land with the right habitat to support native life, we forgo other methods of killing invasive species that are harsh on the natural environment.

Every year the Detroit Zoo has a "Planting Day" that you can volunteer for and help make the place beaUtiful!

Ashley has volunteered her time to making horses comfortable while relocating from a rescue to their new home or vise versa. It is so important to make sure these beautiful souls get the life they deserve.
