10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Meeting Location: Thornton Township Municipal Building (144th St. & Halsted)
Come volunteer to collect and distribute ripe seed as we enjoy nature, relax, and help your local forest preserve. You’ll learn basic plant identification skills and responsible seed collecting techniques. No previous experience is necessary. Each volunteer day will have a knowledgeable leader who will explain the steps in a socially distant way and provide sanitized tools. Masks and pre-registration are required.
To help you prepare for a productive day:
- Bring water and a snack.
- Bring work gloves, if you have some. You will be provided some of you don’t.
- Dress according to the weather. Closed toe, water proof shoes are a must.
- Apply insect repellent. We often have some on hand if you forget.
- Wear your MASK – you will not be able to participate if you don’t have a mask.
