June 4 Volunteer Tree Planting Event Update:

Due to the forecasted unhealthy air quality through the morning of June 4 and for the safety of our volunteers, staff, and board members, we will be postponing the event.

We are in contact with our event partners and will send an additional update once we have updated information.

Join the Cook County Historical Society on June 4 at 10:00 a.m. as we plant over 125 native tree species around the Chippewa City Church site. (A backup date of June 5th at 10 a.m. has been scheduled in case of rain.) 

We will provide all the necessary tools and have some gloves, but we encourage volunteers to bring their own if they have them. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes will be required. We will work outside, so plan to bring bug spray, bug nets, hats, sunscreen, layers, water, etc.
