Help with habitat restoration

A habitat restoration work day at Volo Bog State Natural Area is set for Thursday, March 17, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Volunteers should dress for the weather and bring work gloves and drinking water.

Each session may involve pulling, cutting, planting and gathering seeds, depending on the season. Registration is requested at (815) 344-1294 or dnr.volobog@illinois.gov. Walk-ins welcome but the session may be canceled if minimum registration is not met 24 hours prior or if weather dictates. New volunteers must register ahead and arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork. Volo Bog is on Brandenburg Road off Route 12 in Ingleside.
