Earth Day at Montrose  Beach & Dunes
Saturday, April 17, 2010 
9:00 am – 12:00  noon    (FREE SNACKS FROM WHOLE FOODS!) 
 

Celebrate Earth Day a little early this year by cleaning up Montrose Beach  
and natural area with the Chicago Group of the Sierra Club. The beach and 
the  dunes natural area are in need of a good spring cleaning before the 
plants start  growing and people and migrant birds return to the sands.

Spend a  couple of hours birding then participate in picking up trash and 
working on  habitat restoration in the dunes natural area. 

Chicago Group of the  Sierra Club has adopted Montrose Beach and does beach 
sweeps and habitat  restoration for six months of the year (April through 
September). Help from  birdwatchers is always welcome. It's time to give a 
little help to the Chicago  hot spot that's given all of us so many great 
birds. 

Spend a spring  morning tidying up one of Chicago’s finest natural 
landmarks from 9:00 am   to 12:00 noon. Come for all or part of the work period. 
Dress for the weather,  bring a filled water bottle and work gloves if you have 
them.  
FREE SNACKS are being provided by Whole Foods!
