Details

Join the Peregrines group of young conservationists at a restoration workday! No prior experience necessary - join in to be part of a purposeful learning community protecting Illinois most biodiverse places. You can expect to:

  • Cut and remove brush and burn it on a blazing fire
  • Meet new friends
  • Enjoy tasty food
  • Go home knowing you made an impact

Dress in layers, wear natural fiber clothing (such as cotton or wool) or don't get too close to the fire. Bring water and a snack to share if you'd like. All work tools provided.

The Peregrines are community of friends (mostly in our 20's and 30's) who travel to important natural areas across northeastern Illinois, making an impact through targeted ecological restoration work. We’re musicians, lawyers, parents, birders, students, nurses, tech workers, and a great deal more, brought together by a passion for our natural ecosystems. We call ourselves “The Peregrines” (from the word for “pilgrims,” or “wanderers”) because we move around.

We travel to a different site each weekend, so pay attention to the event's location! The group is primarily NOT on Meetup so while you may see only the host attending, most workdays will have 7-15 people in attendance.

Join our email list to get updates about where we're headed each week :-)
