Make a Difference Day 2023
Saturday, October 28, 9 – 11 a.m.
Triangle Prairie
Corner of Hwy 14 and Lake Avenue in Woodstock
Make a Difference Day is celebrated annually in October. If you have ever wondered if your actions can make a difference, the answer is “Yes”! We have taken part in this day of service for many years by organizing volunteers to help remove invasives and collect trash at one of the prairies that we manage in order to improve habitat for native plant and animal species.
On Saturday, October 28, you are invited to “make a difference” by helping with restoration efforts at Triangle Prairie on the corner of Hwy 14 and Lake Avenue in Woodstock as part of the national “Make A Difference Day” celebration. In addition to cutting resprouts from our workdays last winter, we’ll also be collecting trash throughout the site. And if weather conditions permit, we’ll burn some piles of branches left over from our past workdays. The event will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 11a.m.
Volunteers are asked to wear work clothes, gloves, and boots. Please park in the SW corner of the Walmart parking lot and walk down to the prairie All necessary equipment and snacks will be provided. Please bring your own water. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Nancy Schietzelt at buroak92@gmail.com or call the office at 815-338-0393. Come help us make a positive difference in our environment and enjoy some time outdoors!
