Volunteers are needed to help restore a 1-acre pond and wetland at Humboldt Park in the summer of 2008. Meet new friends and neighbors while you help enhance and beautify this nature area.
Saturdays, August 9th, September 13th – 9am – noon
· August 9: Come out and show your green thumbs! Get your hands dirty and learn about the value of wetlands while planting hundreds of native wetland plants
· September 13: See the progress! Volunteers will help plant native shrubs, mulch trees, and remove any remaining invasive or weedy plants
Meet at the Humboldt Park Wetland just south of the Institute of Puerto Rican Art and Culture (old horse stables). To register or for more information, please contact Becky Schillo, CPD Volunteer Stewardship Coordinator, at 312-742-4072 or mailto:becky.schillo@chicagoparkdistrict.com
Funding for this project has been generously provided by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and The Conservation Fund’s Northeastern Illinois Wetland Conservation Grant Program.
