Woodbine Chipper Day

๐Ÿ• Sun, July 5 ยท 11:00 AM โ€“ ~1:00 PM

๐Ÿ“ Woodbine Launch, 860 Woodbine Ln, Marengo IL

Woodbine Launch is a city-owned parcel used by many residents โ€” bird watchers, dog walkers, kayakers, fishermen, and family hikers all take advantage of the forest and quiet of the trail. Almost 600 residents live within 6 blocks of this location.

Volunteers are needed to fill potholes and ruts in the trail for a couple of hours. The chips are already in piles at the Woodbine roundabout โ€” we just need trucks and wheelbarrows to move them into the ruts.

Join fellow residents at 11 AM this Sunday, July 5!

Tools and equipment needed:

  • Wheelbarrow
  • Work gloves
  • Flat scoop shovel or pointy shovel (only 1 shovel per person needed)
  • Long sleeves and bug spray
  • One more work truck would be a big help for hauling chips from the roundabout

When & where: Sunday, July 5 at 11:00 AM ยท 860 Woodbine Ln, Marengo โ€” plan on a couple of hours.
