BE PREPARED: Brush cutting workdays mean brush pile fires and sparks may fly. Wear old clothes; natural fibers like cotton or wool are best. Dress in layers because you are sure to warm up from the work and the fire. Bring work gloves (we will have a few pairs to share). Don't forget your drinking water.

We provide the necessary tools, but we would never say "no" to a treat to share with your fellow volunteers!

CHECK BACK HERE: We will post any updates due to weather or other unforeseen reasons an hour before the workday if needed.

The Forest Preserve District of Cook County requires all volunteers under the age of 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian at workdays. ... See MoreSee Less
