Join The Wetlands Initiative, the Chicago Park District, and partner organizations for a volunteer seeding event at Indian Ridge Marsh. Volunteers will assist in the spreading of native seed to aid the ongoing efforts of wetland habitat restoration.
This is an outdoor event - please dress appropriately for cold weather (bring extra layers, gloves, hats, etc., to stay safe and warm). We recommend wearing warm and water-proof shoes in case of muddy conditions. Restoration areas are easily accessed from public trails; some bending and walking will be required.
Snacks, water, and hot chocolate will be provided. There will be a bonfire and port-a-johns will be on site. Parking is available. This is a family friendly event.
Volunteers can park in the Indian Ridge Marsh lot or on 116th Street and then walk south towards the parking lot. Volunteers will gather in the parking lot before walking together towards seeding areas.
For questions or concerns, please email Marwah Saleh at msaleh@wetlands-initiative.org. Please register if you plan to attend.
