A habitat restoration work day will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 26, at Bliss Woods Forest Preserve in Sugar Grove.

Volunteers are needed to cut and stack honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is an invasive shrub that crowds out native wildflowers.

Interested people should wear sturdy shoes or boots, long pants and sleeves and work gloves. All people are welcome, but children younger than age 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Refreshments will be provided.

For further information, contact Mary Ochsenschlager at maryoxie@sbcglobal.net or Robb Cleave at the Kane Forest Preserve Office at (630) 232-5980.

Bliss Woods is on Bliss Road just east of Route 47 in Sugar Grove. Meet in the inner parking lot.
