Pilcher Park New Year Eco-Kickoff!
Details
Kick off a new year of restoration at Pilcher Park on January 17th from 9am-12pm!
RSVP here!
A grassroots community is growing to protect and restore biodiversity at Pilcher Park, a rare old-growth oak woodland in Joliet/New Lenox! All are invited to partake in opportunities to learn, plan, lead and organize together.
In the absence of fire, invasive trees have shaded out the understory at Pilcher Park. Oak woodlands need light - without it, oaks cannot reproduce and the many rare wildflowers, grasses, sedges, and animals that depend on this vegetation cannot survive.
Fortunately, many rare species are holding on at Pilcher Park in small areas. Together we can let the light back in and restore biodiversity!
Join in, meet new friends and make a life-saving difference for the ecosystem.
RSVP here, but feel free to come even if you don't get a chance to!
