Help us weed and clean up our on-site prairie installation!

Over the last few years, we've established a prairie habitat with a wide variety of native plants at Walnut Woods of Evanston. We will spend some time working in this area pulling weeds that could prevent the prairie plants from establishing. Volunteers will also work within the forest to remove small invasive plants, clean up trash and check on tree saplings planted last fall.

No experience is needed for our workdays! Please come prepared by wearing closed-toed shoes and long pants. Please also bring a reusable water bottle and gloves if you have them. We'll provide extras if needed.

There's free parking along Sulsar Ave. We'll meet by the Walnut Woods of Evanston kiosk and the benches, located at near the trailhead.
