Rosemont Preserve: Immersion in Nature

Those who cannot sit on the ground should bring a portable chair or cushion; others should bring layers on which to sit.

RSVPs are requested; the group size is limited to 15. Please RSVP to Rosemontfriends@gmail.com. The Preserve will stay open until 10:45 a.m.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. Please park at Two Strike Park – 5107 Rosemont Ave. – and not in front of neighbors’ homes. Those with mobility issues requiring a closer parking spot can contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve at rosemontfriends@gmail.com.  

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages. Rain cancels event. Sorry, no pets please.
