Project Spotlight:  Beaubien Woods Work Day
This Forest Preserve site is a great addition to the city. Volunteers will collect and plant seeds, cut down buckthorn, pick up debris, and may be able to help with an occasional brush pile fire (with s'mores!). Come learn about the new greening efforts taking place in this area! Carpool may be available.
