Hi there Friends of Hackmatack Volunteers!
This Sunday, April 7th from 9 a.m. to Noon the Friends of Hackmatack will host our next scheduled stewardship day. We will be working at a new site - the Otrebla site, currently owned by Openlands. The goal will be to remove brush and some small trees from a part of the site. Access to the property will be via a private landowner's property on the east side of Route 47, one mile north of St. Charles Road north of Woodstock. The address is 3314 Route 47, Woodstock IL 60098. Coordinates are
42.371179, -88.440046. As always, look for the Hackmatack signs!
Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty, and please bring your own drinking water. Protective clothing such as long pants (not leggings) are recommended. We’ll have hand tools, workgloves, safety glasses, and a few snacks.
An RSVP is appreciated, so if you know you will be attending please give me a heads up.
Students are welcome! Especially you, Alden-Hebron! If you are under age 18, you will need a parent or guardian to sign the waiver form (located in the HS Office or in your email sent on 4/2) indicating that you are authorized to attend; you can either email the signed form back to me or bring it to the workday. Note that this is a different waiver form than our usual refuge form because we are working off of the refuge at this event. Also, the parent/guardian signs in the line labeled "volunteer"; the minor does not need to sign.
You can also check in with Pete Jackson at 224-612-1803 if you have a question.
We hope to see you Sunday as we work to restore beauty to the land and habitat for grassland birds and other wildlife!
