Friends of Hickory Hill Park

Volunteer Registration: Spring 2012 Work Days

There is no limit to how many people can volunteer for each event, and all work days are open to the public. However, we need an estimate of how many are coming and ask that all participants register at the links found below.

A map of the park (with the names of park entrances) can be found here.

Note: For all events, wear close-toed shoes and long pants. If you do not wear close-toed shoes and long pants, you will be prevented from participating. Bring a pair of work gloves, if you can, and water and a snack.

STUDENTS: We have work sessions listed for both U of I and Kirkwood Environmental Science students.  If you wish to receive credit, please read carefully and sign up for the correct session.
