It's been a long cold winter and I'm looking forward to spring. Let's show our appreciation for all the enjoyment that the forest preserve district of Du Page has given us over the years by doing some brush clearing or trash pickup at Fullersburg Woods. If brush clearing isn't your thing, come on out and we'll put you to work picking up trash.
When: Saturday April 20, 2019 From 10:00AM to 12:00PM
Where: We'll assemble on the deck outside the Fullersburg Woods Visitor Center. There will be an orientation and safety talk conducted by the Dupage FPD. Should there be heavy rains or lightening the event will be canceled. You can check out the local weather forecast below and may contact Mike Swaney (Greenback) 630-664-3515 the day of the event for status should these conditions exist in your area.
