SUMMARY:Green Friday Seed Sowing @ Beverly Shores
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Shirley Heinze Land Trust \nGive the gift of a Green Earth this Black Friday! Skip the crowds\, reconnect with nature\, and make a difference by sowing native wildflower seeds at the Great Marsh as we continue re-greening and restoring the wetlands in this unique and beautiful habitat. Come out between 1pm-3pm Central Time to assist our stewardship staff while chatting with them about the flora\, fauna\, and exciting future of the marsh! \nOn Black Friday\, we will take those seeds and broadcast them over a large area in Beverly Shores to restore degraded habitats. Late winter is the best time to sow native seeds so they can stratify. Stratification is the period of cold that is needed to break the seed coat. The freezing\, thawing\, and precipitation helps to work the seeds closer to the ground to ensure seed-to-soil contact\, and the snow cover helps to hide the seeds from hungry seed-eating critters. \nWe will provide all the necessary equipment and gear\, as well as granola bars and water\, although we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle. Feel free to stay for as little or as long as you’re able to. \nMeet staff and our other dedicated volunteers at the intersection of Wells Road and Beverly Drive; parking will be available on the south side of Beverly Drive. Parking is limited\, so we strongly encourage volunteers to carpool. \nSpots are limited. Please RSVP to confirm your place in the marsh. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear protective waterproof or high-top hiking boots… \nThis is not an ILPA event.

SUMMARY:Seed Cleaning @ Meadowbrook
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Shirley Heinze Land Trust \nAs you can imagine\, native plants are vital to the health and long-term viability of an ecosystem. That’s why our stewardship team takes great care to cultivate native species and remove invasive ones (to allow the natives to thrive). And that’s how you can help us! \nBy participating in our seed-cleaning events\, you can assist Shirley Heinze by removing chaff and other plant material from seed bodies to improve seed distribution and germination rates. Let’s prep these vital native seeds! \nShirley Heinze will provide all necessary materials and gear. This Volunteer Workday will be indoors at the Meadowbrook office. We’d recommend bringing a reusable water bottle along. \nThis is not an ILPA event. Please check the host’s page for the latest details. \nView the original listing

SUMMARY:Book Club @ Meadowbrook
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Shirley Heinze Land Trust \nSome stories take us somewhere new. Others make us see familiar places differently. \nJoin us for the Shirley Heinze Land Trust Book Club as we discuss Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy\, a haunting and atmospheric novel that explores family\, isolation\, resilience\, and our relationship with the natural world. Set against the wild beauty of a remote island\, the story weaves together questions of belonging\, survival\, and the ways landscapes can shape the people who inhabit them. \nCome share your thoughts on the characters\, setting\, and themes that stayed with you in a welcoming and thoughtful discussion with fellow readers. Whether the story captivated you\, challenged you\, or left you wondering what lies beneath the surface\, we’d love to hear your perspective. \nThis is not an ILPA event.
