SUMMARY:Forest Glen Woods
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]An important corridor for migratory birds\, Forest Glen is part of the Lower North Branch Preserves. 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. Join the North Branch Restoration Project with the Centennial Volunteers to learn how! \nGather at the Forest Glen parking lot\, located at 5420 N. Forest Glen Ave in Chicago. \nFor more information or to volunteer contact: \nBill Tucker at 312-206-5928 or Deb Gohr at Forest Glen[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:St Paul Woods
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]St Paul Woods is an inviting oak-hickory woodland situated east of the North Branch of the Chicago River. Like many of our native woodlands\, it needs management to clear invasive brush and trees to restore the original structure. With increased sunlight\, the wildflowers and grasses will once again add to the beauty of the woods. Join North Branch Restoration Project volunteers as we remove buckthorn and other weedy species\, protecting our native ecosystems. \nThe pre-settlement Public Land Survey (PLS) indicates the entire site (N & S) was originally timbered with diverse trees including bur oak\, white oak\, hickory\, elm\, ash\, and basswood. The open canopy fostered a rich understory\, including young oak seedlings. In the absence of fire\, sugar maple and basswood now account for most if not all of the new growth\, shading out the vast majority of the plants on the forest floor. Coupled with an over-abundant deer population\, the natural community struggled to renew itself. Management is bringing back the conditions that promote a healthy woodland. \nRSVP below. For more information\, contact Mike Andrews (773) 405-7132\, Mike Bingaman (773) 203-3447) or email St Paul Woods . \nDirections: Enter the driveway north off 6500 Oakton Ave\, across from Natchez Ave in Morton Grove. Look for yellow Volunteer signs at parking areas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
