Regional Ecology Gatherings
Meet with Forest Preserves Ecological Stewardship Volunteers, Regional Ecologists, Project Managers and Volunteer Resources staff.
REGISTER for one of the upcoming opportunities listed below. If you do not have an FPCC volunteer profile, then send an email to volunteer.fpd@cookcountyil.gov to secure a spot.
The tentative schedule is to gather for about 30 minutes to talk about regional common issues and answer questions, etc. Afterward, everyone will walk the site with the local Site Steward and the Regional Ecologist to get a firsthand look at specific site issues, successes and volunteer accomplishments.
