About the event
Join us for a special Weeds + Quarry Care event where we'll spread thousands of native grass and wildflower seeds across more than eight acres of prairie meadow and quarry shoreline followed by lunch and two engaging presentations:
Fire & Prairie – A DuPage County firefighter and prairie expert will share firsthand insights into how prescribed burns help maintain prairies, reduce invasive species, and restore balance to natural systems.
The Wilder World Trust Restoration Update – Our staff will highlight progress made so far through the Heritage Quarries Restoration Plan and share what’s coming next.
This event is open to volunteers of all ages and abilities. No prior experience is needed—just wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and bring your enthusiasm. We’ll provide the seed, the guidance, and the gratitude.
By joining us, you’ll become part of a growing community committed to ecological restoration and outdoor stewardship in Lemont.…
