Annual Earth Day Trail Cleanup for Saturday, April 28th, Rain Or Shine!

Volunteers are needed!

Our goal each year is to clean up as much of the 62 miles of the Illinois Prairie Path as possible. Hopefully, we can duplicate the excellent cleanup that was done last year for Earth Day. We are asking for your help. We want you to help us and roll up your sleeves (but wear work gloves) and pick up litter along these trails. Bring friends and family (and garbage bags to fill) and please dress appropriately on Saturday, April 28th.

If you, your family and/or co-workers are interested in helping us, please contact one of the cleanup coordinators listed below.
