Join us for this ongoing restoration project at LaBagh Forest Preserve. We will be cutting and burning brush. Be a part of Centennial Volunteers and help out as we continue to remove invasive buckthorn from this woodland community. Learn new skills, meet new people, and enjoy the outdoors.

Forest Glen is a part of the Lower North Branch Preserves, and brand new to volunteer stewardship. This unique woodland, savanna, and floodplain ecosystem needs help from our volunteer community to remove invasive plants, collect and distribute native seeds, and reduce erosion issues.
