Join Lake/Cook members to help Lake Forest Open Lands plant trees and shrubs at Carruthers Nature Preserve (formerly Westleigh Meadow) as part of our partnership in helping LFOLA develop this future preserve!
We will be planting 98 shrubs into pre-made holes, backfilling, and mulching – all selected to help attract birds and provide food and habitat for nesting. We may also be installing deer guards around them. It will be straightforward and not very difficult work. And the weather should be perfect! The material was donated by Mariani.
Tools will be provided, but bringing your own gloves may be a good idea. Sturdy boots are also recommended, although that area has been fairly dry this summer.
Directly following the planting, LFOLA will be hosting a thank-you lunch for all volunteers at 350 Waukegan Road.
RSVP to Maureen Marsh (firefeats@hotmail.com) for planting and optional lunch.
Directions: From Edens Expressway/Route 41, exit WEST on Westleigh Road. Drive two blocks to Stable Lane, turn right, and park on Wallace and 315 Stable Lane.
