Dress in layer and wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Forest Preserve recommend all participants wear sturday shoes/boots with socks, long pants, long sleeves. Flip-flops, sandals and open-toed shoes are not allowed.
Equipment:
Forest Preserve provides all necessary equipment and safety gear for the workday, but you are welcome to bring your own work gloves if you have them.
Weather and Cancellations:
This time of year can have unpredictable weather. If severe weather is forecasted, such as storms or extremely high temperatures, the workday may be cancelled. If there is only slight drizzle, Forest Preserve try to keep the workday open, but any lightening or thunder will require us to close it for the safety of our staff and volunteers. Forest Preserve will contact me directly if this is the case, then I will update the event page as soon as I hear from them.
