PEORIA WILDS ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION WORKDAYS  

Come on out and enjoy the outdoors while giving something back. Join these restoration workdays and meet new people, learn about the native (and non-native) flora and fauna, have some fun, and get some exercise! Bring gloves and water and dress appropriately for an outdoor experience. Check out Peoria Wilds web site: www.geocities.com/peoriawilds or call John Mullen at 686-3360 for further information. 

Forest Park 

Garlic Mustard, an exotic invasive plant species, is threatening to drive out the native understory plants and is gaining ground rapidly.
