Notes
This workday is at the native plant nursery at Blackwell Forest Preserve. You will receive directions to the site and other important details with your emailed receipt. Please read over everything carefully before attending. If you do not receive a confirmation email after registering online, call 630-206-9630 or email nrvolunteer@dupageforest.org.
We try to maintain a ratio of at least two volunteers per steward or employee. If this ratio isn't met, the steward or employee will determine if the workday can safely proceed. Volunteers under 18 cannot attend workdays alone. Below are our minimum requirements.
Ages 12 - 13: One adult for every eight children
Ages 14 - 17: One adult for every 10 teens (We encourage high school students to volunteer in groups of two or more.)
Workdays cannot be applied to court-ordered community service. For these types of service projects, call the Forest Preserve District's Human Resources department at 630-933-7682.
