Volo Bog – Lake County
December 2 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Restore health to this ancient, rare, and beloved bog ecosystem! This winter, we’ll clear malignant brush shading out rare and endangered bog species.
Bring water and a snack to share if you like, and wear weather appropriate clothes and waterproof boots, if you have them. We’ll have some extra boots, as well as tools and gloves.
Please let us know if you plan to come in case our plans change!
