Pilcher Park is a unique old-growth woodland in Joliet, IL, home to dozens of species of rare flora that are threatened by invasive species and lack of sunlight. To restore diversity to the woods, the Friends of Pilcher Park work to cut down invasive brush and trees, collect and redistribute seeds of native plants, lead prescribed burns, and more! Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary - every workday is an opportunity to learn about the ecosystem alongside mentors and other volunteers.
Check out the Friends page on Facebook for more information!
Park at the Nature Center. If needed, extra parking is located nearby.
