ChiPride Volunteering + Friends of the Forest – LaBagh Woods

Join LGBTQ+ and Ally Volunteers as we partner with Friends of the Forest Preserves on Chicago’s Northwest Side! Volunteers will perform a variety of tasks that will include removing invasive species, seed collecting, and potentially helping to care for some native plant areas.

Volunteers should wear weather appropriate attire suitable for working in a forest setting. We suggest these additional items:

• Insect repellant
• Sunscreen
• Hat and/or sunglasses
• Water and snacks to stay hydrated and energized

Friends of the Forest Preserves will provide all work items on site (gloves, trowels, clippers, etc.)

When you enter the LaBagh Woods Forest Preserve entrance off N. Cicero Ave., follow the drive and look for signs directing “volunteers” to the appropriate location.
