Volunteers Needed!
The next phase of this project is underway and volunteers are needed. If anyone can assist with the planting, which is a large part of the watershed grant CWL received to improve the quality of the lake and beautify our community, then just grab your gardening/work gloves and join us on Saturday, May 9th at 8:00am at the Recreation Center. This is the first day of planting. Come and help as long as your schedule allows. Even if you just want to see the other volunteers in action, come out and watch. Why not make it a family project. We had kids as young as seven assist with the Firefly Bay plantings a couple of years ago.
Please note that the planting will take place rain or shine!
CWL is credited approximately $22.50 per volunteer hour. Also, this is a federal grant that is administered through the Illinois EPA so the funding is more secure and not subject to any of the state cuts.
