Chicago Wilderness Corporate Council Day of Service

Nature offers us many benefits: places to explore and enjoy with our families; opportunities for learning and discovery; and outdoor venues for active lifestyles. Healthy ecosystems also provide us with clean air and water, protect against flooding, filter pollutants, and provide habitat for wildlife.

On Saturday, September 28, the Chicago Wilderness Corporate Council is hosting the annual, region-wide Day of Service to give back to nature and offer residents a chance to help protect and restore the region’s natural areas. Have fun with family, friends and coworkers while contributing to the health of local nature! All of us – working together – can make a difference!

Families are welcome to volunteer, Children under 12 must be accompanied by adult
