Rosemont Preserve Restoration Day
There will be preserve restoration day on Saturday, July 13 from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Rosemont Preserve to help restore the natural habitat. Volunteers will focus on identifying and removing invasive plant species to allow room for the native flora to become reestablished, as well as some light brush clearance.

Participants should wear sturdy shoes, comfortable clothes and garden gloves (long pants and sleeves are recommended.) Those who have a shovel, spade, loppers or clippers, should bring them along. Other tools will be available.

The preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park.

This event is free to the public, all ages, no reservations required.
