Barrington conservation group seeks volunteers to restore protected acres

Citizens for Conservation, an organization that’s led the initiative to protect over 3,000 acres of land in the Barrington area, is seeking volunteers to help its efforts to remove nonnative woody brush from some of the land it manages and restores.

The group, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, works every Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m., weather permitting.

CFC will hold special workday events, at which they hope to have 100 volunteers for the first time, this coming Saturday, Feb. 26, from 9 a.m. to noon, and on March 20, from 1 to 4 p.m.

Those who wish to participate can contact CFC at (847) 382-SAVE (7283) or meet other volunteers at their headquarters, 459 W. Route 22, in Barrington.
