On the Southeast side of Chicago, Eggers Woods is a mosaic of wooded ridges where spring wildflowers thrive and narrow wetlands filled with sedges, marsh grasses, and waterfowl. Help remove aggressive species that threaten to crowd out native plants. Trained leaders will show you how to identify plants that don’t belong and demonstrate how to safely use hand tools.
We will be meeting near the Caretaker’s Building, you won’t miss us! A few things to keep in mind: Make sure to bring your own water, dress for the weather and wear layers, sturdy, closed-toe shoes are recommended, and don’t wear clothes you would mind getting dirty. Tools, gloves, and light snacks will be provided.
