Due to probable rain or at least debilitating mud, this event is rescheduled for Saturday, March 14.
Preregistration is required – see March 14 information.
Last summer and fall, volunteers went into a part of Spring Creek Forest Preserve that was badly damaged by a bulldozer and rescued over 100 native plants. These plants have been in the city’s greenhouse all winter and now it’s time to replant them.
Although we originally hoped to use them to begin restoration at the Halff Park site where some of the damage occurred, that project is not far enough along. If we put the plants there, they might be run over again. The new area chosen for the plants is perfect ecologically for them.
More details are included on the registration page. Please address questions to Dana Wilson – danawilson59@yahoo.com.
