VOLUNTEER WORK DAY:
Saturday, July 9th from 10 am to 1 pm
Location: Howard Street Farm, 3701 Howard, Skokie, IL (at the Tot Learning Center parking lot)
We have scheduled our first work day for our new land home! It will be on Saturday, July 9th, from 10 am to 1 pm. Since this site is former farmland now overgrown with invasives, you can imagine what this initial work will consist of... (but, of course, it includes fun!) We will be walking over the entire 2 acres, picking up debris and beginning to cut back the weeds and brush.

The initial orientation is at 10 am sharp and then we will set to work. Meet near the southeast end of the parking lot.
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old (the ground is extremely uneven, has briars, and includes some shallow ponds so please do not bring younger children). We have a Volunteer Waiver and Release to sign Download it here-http://www.thetalkingfarm.org/files/SPDTTFWaiverrelease.pdf
