Spring Creek Stewards Sunday Workday
An event every week that begins at 12:00 PM on Sunday, repeating until December 27, 2020
Winter brings brush-cutting season to Spring Creek Forest Preserve. Help fellow volunteer clear invasive species, like buckthorn and honeysuckle, from our prairies and woodlands. After cutting back brush, we toss it on a brush pile burn, which has the added benefit of keeping volunteers warm no matter them temperature outside! No experience necessary, volunteers should wear non-flammable (i.e. cotton) clothing and dress for the weather. Please bring your own water and snacks, as well as work gloves if you have them. Registration and face coverings required. Meeting location: Penny Road Pond parking lot
For your safety and comfort, please follow these guidelines:
- 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.
For more information, please contact Peter Whitney, Spring Creek Field Organizer, at peter@fotfp.org.
If you don’t find a date or location that works for you, more volunteer opportunities can be found at fpdcc.com/volunteer.
