About this Event
Join us for a day ride to LagBagh Woods for 3 hours of environmental education and service. The plan is for us to clear invasive brush and burn it in a bonfire!
We will meet at the Hexe Coffee (2000 W Diversey Pkwy).
At 9:15am, we will head out on bikes to LaBagh, with our service day ending around 1pm. The ride will be roughly 7 miles on mostly bike lanes. If you can't make the ride up, but want to volunteer for the day we love that! Meet us at the LaBagh Woods Grove #1. Afterwards, we'll have an optional hangout to get lunch and a drink nearby.
What to Bring:
•Good, sturdy shoes. It may get muddy as we will be off trail and near the river.
•Cotton/denim based jackets and outer wear. We will be burning buckthorn, and ash/embers from the burn piles can melt through synthetic fibers. Wear layers. It might start out cold, but a 1,300 degree fire warms you up really quickly.
•Refillable water bottle and snacks. We'll have some granola bars, but if you have a go-to snack, bring that just in case.
•Work gloves if you want your own, they will have a limited number to borrow. All tools will be provided by the worksite.
•Clothes to keep you protected and dry. We'll be riding rain or shine and this is an outdoor event so prepare for the weather!
•Any knowledge you'd like to share about local ecosystems, flora or fauna and why we love them!
