Restore Native Habitats in Evanston!

Our volunteer corps is called the Lumberjacks & Lumberjills of Canal Shores. We welcome individuals as well as community groups looking to give back! What we do: Don’t worry if you don’t own a chainsaw because we do a broad range of ecological restoration activities. Trail building, tree planting, weed whacking, raking, removing invasive species, trimming small brush with loppers, burning invasive brush, and creating and installing signage. When: We typically meet Saturday mornings from 9-12 and work together as a single group. It’s more fun that way! Where: Locations vary based on the needs of the space How: Fill out our volunteer form. We will collect your email and communicate each week on where and when we meet. Wear sturdy boots and layers Please bring your own gloves and safety glasses We will supply the tools, though you are always welcome to bring your own.
