Citizens for Conservation hosts National Public Lands Day

National Public Lands Day is our nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands that Americans enjoy. Last year 120,000 volunteers worked in 1,300 locations and in every state. Join Citizens for Conservation on Saturday, September 24 from 9 to 11 a.m. for the 18th annual National Public Lands Day. Volunteers of all ages and family groups will help collect seed of native plants which will then be processed and sown in local preserves. New volunteers are welcome.

Meet at CFC headquarters, 459 West Hwy 22, the white farmhouse with a silo across from Good Shepherd Hospital in Lake Barrington. Bring work gloves and dress for the weather. If questions, call CFC at 847-382-SAVE (7283).
