Habitat Restoration Workdays
Location:
Woodstock
60098
Description:
Here's a three-hour drop in opportunity that doesn't require advance registration and is perfect for MCC Promise students. If you’re wild about nature and enjoy working with people who are enthusiastic about preserving the environment, you’re a “natural” to help Conservation District site stewards to restore habitat at various conservation areas in McHenry County. As a volunteer, you’ll assist with seasonal restoration tasks, such as cutting and stacking invasive brush, removing non-native vegetation, and sowing native plant seed. Contact the MCCD Volunteer Coordinator for a list of upcoming restoration days at a conservation area convenient to you. No experience is necessary – training is provided. Wear sturdy footwear and clothing appropriate for outdoor work and weather conditions. No sandals allowed. Tools are provided. Bring work gloves and safety glasses if you own them, plus drinking water, insect repellent, hat and sunscreen, as needed.
