Call details
What we'd like to talk about
I'd like help finding appealing stories. We are recreating beautiful healthy habitat beside a popular bike trail. How do we create passion and grab heartstrings with removing invasive species?
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.
Our mission
We create and maintain healthy habitat along the Green Bay Trail
by removing invasive species and planting natives.
What we do
We have been removing buckthorn, garlic mustard and other invasives for 7 years, replacing them with native plants ranging from oaks to wildflowers. Stretching 9 miles from Wilmette to Highland Park, the Green Bay Trail is popular with cyclists, walkers, and nature lovers and provides access to Ravinia, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and Writer's Theater.
