[BCNnet] McCormick Place workday

[Judy Pollock]

You are invited to a stewardship workday at the new McCormick Place Bird
Sanctuary this Wednesday evening -September 17th -
6 to 7:45 pm

Chicago's newest bird sanctuary is looking for a few new friends.  Join us at
this peaceful nature oasis along the lakefront.  The observation platform,
water feature, and shrub border are all in place for the birds and you to
enjoy, and the prairie seeds are in the ground, thinking hard about growing!  

On Wednesday, we will be removing invasive vegetation from a woodland
planting,
and enjoying the birds using the new landscaping. Tools, gloves and
refreshments will be provided.  Please dress for the weather; bring binoculars
if you like.

Meet at the north end of the prairie, south of McCormick Place Lakeside Center
(the building at the lakefront) .  Parking for participants is free - drive to
the guard shack and mention that you are attending the Audubon/CPS workday.

Any questions? Please call Judy Pollock at (847) 965-1150 or Nathan Schroeder
at the Chicago Park District at 312-735-8188 or respond to this message. 
RSVPing is not necessary, but would be appreciated.
