When:
March 31, 2012, 9:00 AM – Noon
Location:
Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve
Meet in main parking lot on the north side of 83rd Street, just west of Book Road.
Project Details:
This workday consists of restoration at the preserve. An orientation and safety talk will be included. Volunteers need to arrive promptly at 9:00 a.m., otherwise they risk not being guided to the location by the steward. Work will consist of brush cutting and possible seed planting.
Proper Dress:
Workday volunteers should wear appropriate clothing for the weather. All participants should wear sturdy shoes/boots, long pants, long sleeves, and bring your own work gloves if possible. Dress in layers because as the day warms, so will you. Long pants are a good idea to protect you when you work near poison/oak ivy or to prevent injuries to your legs. Excessively baggy clothes are also a risk for snags, burrs, tripping and other accidents. Please note, heavy rain and/or lightening will cancel this workday, but a light drizzle will not be a problem.
You may wish to bring a bottle of water.
