A habitat restoration work day will be held at Bliss Woods Forest Preserve from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 23. Collecting seeds and cutting and stacking invasive brush will be on the agenda. Tools are provided but feel free to bring your favorite loppers and hand cutters.
Bliss Woods in Sugar Grove is a beautiful, high-quality woodland and is host to many unusual plants. Removing invasive species will help sustain its unique nature.
Please wear long sleeves, long pants, sturdy shoes, and work gloves. The work day will meet in the main parking lot off of Bliss Road.
Refreshments will be available at the break. Anyone under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
