SUMMARY:Labagh-Hernandez Woods
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Located on the North Branch of the Chicago River\, LaBagh is an important stopover point for birds during their spring and fall migration journeys. Most of LaBagh is made up of floodplain and savanna communities dominated by swamp white oak\, which thrives in wet conditions. The floodplain contains ponds and marshes that were carved out by the river hundreds of years ago. The upland areas are drier\, but often wet in the spring and fall due to poor-draining soils that allow standing water to accumulate. Join volunteers in restoring this special site along the Chicago River with a unique focus on planting native shrubs to provide bird habitat and food. \nYouth under 18 must be accompanied by a legal parent/guardian or attend with a chaperoned organized youth group (school\, scouts\, faith-based). Volunteers under age 18 must have their volunteer waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. \nVolunteer workdays are held two or more times a month at LaBagh. Contact labaghvolunteers@gmail.com to join our email announcement list. \nDirections: Enter Forest Preserve at 5275 N. Cicero\, then follow yellow volunteer signs. \nTo volunteer or for more information\, contact the Labagh team.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
