Long ago, there was a home on the west end of Spring Creek Forest Preserve, and the homeowners used the forest as a dump for tin cans and car parts… ☹ Join the Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest Preserve and Volunteer Garland for a special hands-on stewardship experience at Spring Creek Forest Preserve to recover this area.
This volunteer opportunity includes conservation work followed by a guided walk through the woods along Spring Creek. It’s also a unique chance to meet and work alongside members of Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest and the Volunteer Garland team and learn more about ongoing preservation efforts.
Volunteers will clear and bag a pile of old rusted cans and other trash, remove invasive plant species from three nearby locations within the same area, and conclude the event with a guided walk through the woods along Spring Creek. All activities will be supervised, and tools/instructions will be provided.
Close-toe shoes and long pants are mandatory, dress for the weather. Youth under 18 must be accompanied by an adult; no drop off/pick up of those under 18.
