Service Days Benefit Local Parks


Many thanks to all of our corporate volunteers who turn out for service days that benefit our city parks! The Conservancy is proud to team up with our city parks department and William Park, the city's urban forest coordinator, to bring volunteers to help spruce up, spread mulch, prune, and remove invasives at many parks this year.


Most recently, we joined forces with LexisNexis Risk Solutions for a service day at Big Trees Forest Preserve. View the Photo Gallery on Facebook
