Habitat Restoration at Illinois Beach State Park

About this event

Join a friendly group of volunteers in restoring the unique dunesland ecosystem at Illinois Beach State Park!

No experience with restoration, but love nature and want to make a difference? All are welcome! Mentorship, hands-on learning, yummy treats, and good discussion provided 🙂

• Collect seeds of native plants

• Feast with friends

• Explore our local ecosystems

• Go home knowing you made an impact

We will meet at the Illinois Beach Nature Center parking lot a few minutes before 9am. We will focus on collecting seeds of native plants that we will eventually clean and disperse in areas that need them. Bring water and a snack to share if you'd like. All work tools provided. Everyone is invited to come, learn, lead, eat and make a difference.

Keep in touch on Instagram and Facebook RSVP here or on the Google Form

This is a recurring event and while the organizer may not attend every time, there will be a group waiting to welcome you at the Nature Center!
