Work Day at Far Field Nature Preserve

November 7, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm CST

Tending to the Tender Trees!

 

 

We planted them at OaktoberFest

Now we need to protect them!

        • Anti-Deer Fencing:  We will be installing wire mesh fencing around the sapling oaks and shrubs that we planted during OaktoberFest. No free lunch here, Bambi!
        • Mulch:  Each newly planted oak sapling and native shrub will get a mulch blanket to keep them warm and hydrated this winter.
        • Garbage Collectors: One or two sets of hands can do garbage clean up along Lake Cook and Old Sutton Roads. We will provide garbage bags and hi-visibility vests.

Bring gloves if you have them! We will have rubberized gloves available, along with clippers and shovels.

We encourage you to wear long sleeves and pants, sturdy closed-toe shoes – dress for the weather!

We also suggest that you bring a reusable water bottle. 

Far Field Nature Preserve is located at the corner of Lake Cook Road and Old Sutton Road.

Turn south on Old Sutton Road and the preserve gate will be the next entry on the left. 

Email any questions. We look forward to working with you!
