Two seed-collecting workdays this week.

BE PREPARED: Long pants, long-sleeved shirt, garden gloves, and sturdy shoes to protect you from prickly things; bug spray with DEET or Picaridin to protect you from biting things.
Don't forget your drinking water and 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.

Upcoming Workdays at Deer Grove
Two Announcements on Seed Collecting…
1. What does the well-dressed seed collector wear if they don’t want to be wearing more seed than they collect? The correct answer is denim or canvas pants; definitely not fleece, rip-stop fabric, or any stretchy knit.
2. Deer Grove East has some very abundant, easy-to-collect seed and we need A LOT of it for a more degraded area. We would love to set a scout or school group to the task sometime in the next month. Any leaders out there with a group who would like to volunteer?
Saturday 09/12 - 9 am to 11 am - at Deer Grove WEST
