Community Volunteer Workday

The Forest Preserve District of Will County is partnering with local businesses for a "Community Volunteer Workday" on Saturday, April 26, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the District's Whalon Lake in Naperville.

Join employees from Comcast, JULIE, Inc., Saratoga Food Specialties, Bill Jacobs Auto Group, BMO Harris Bank, Enbridge Energy, CITGO Lemont Refinery, CARCARE Collision Centers, Exelon Generation, ExxonMobil Pipeline, and Homer Tree Service, along with other volunteers from the community, to contribute time and effort toward improving the preserve in celebration of Earth Day, Comcast Cares Day, and JULIE's Safe Digging Month.

Participants will assist with trail maintenance, brush clearing, rubbish removal, and wood chipping at Whalon Lake. These efforts benefit native plants and wildlife, and the community.

A continental breakfast and lunch will be served to all participants courtesy of Comcast.

Work will take place on natural surfaces across uneven terrain. In providing programs and services to the public, the Forest Preserve District will make reasonable modifications to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to enjoy District offerings.
