Churchill Park is the one true “natural” park owned by the park district. It has many great features and lots of potential. Buckthorn and honeysuckle, both non-native aggressive plants, have taken a hold of this gem in the wooded areas. Most work will focus on cutting and stacking brush, but will also include collecting and spreading native seeds, plantings, and trail work. This is a great activity for scouts and families, ages 5 and up. If you have work gloves, a bow saw or loppers, please bring them. We will supply tools, gloves and goggles as well. We will meet in the parking lot, located east of Bloomingdale Road. Each workday is on a Saturday and runs from 9 am-11 a.m. Instructor: Renae Frigo. [SS]
