Chicago River Day at TUCC and Briarwood/Trail Tree Park
May 14, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
CRD is returning to Deerfield for the 3rd year!
Go Green Deerfield teams up with members of Trinity United Church of Christ for a CRD work site at the church’s woodland bordering the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River.
At the Briarwood and Trail Tree Park CRD work site, Go Green Deerfield helps the Deerfield Park District continue to restore another wooded treasure near the river in our community.
Both workday sites will incorporate trash pickup in the wooded areas as well as the nearby river branch, removal of invasive species like Buckthorn, and planting of native plants, trees, and shrubs. You may opt for any one of these activities. There is something for everyone!
See below for registration info from Friends of Chicago River. Don’t delay! Registration fills up fast!
This event is family friendly with parental supervision. Rain or shine.
*Some tools will be available on site, but you are also welcome to bring hand trowels, shovels, spades, garden gloves, safety goggles, loppers/hand saw (for Buckthorn removal option).
*Long pants and sleeves and sturdy, closed toed shoes are highly suggested.
