Join The Wetlands Initiative and the Little Calumet River Conservation Collaborative for hands-on wetland restoration days this summer! On June 10 we’ll be at Highland Rookery and all experience levels are welcome to help plant native sedges, flowers, and shrubs.
Volunteers will plant wetland seedlings, which will require bending, crouching, and digging. Please dress in loose, comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty (long pants, long socks,
closed toed, waterproof boots or shoes, etc). Site conditions will be wet and muddy. A port-ajohn will be available in the Highland Rookery parking lot. All experience levels welcome. Recommended for ages 8+. Snacks, water, and planting tools will be provided. For questions, email msaleh@wetlands-initiative.org.
