Restore Will County
Passionate and purposeful in their work, Volunteer Stewards adopt a forest preserve, often within their own community, and collect and distribute seed from native plants, cut brush, and control non-native weeds so that our native plants and animals have a chance to thrive. They work to restore the land and re-establish the natural ecological relationships and keep a close eye on our rare and endangered plants and animals.
Each year, these volunteers donate thousands of hours taking care of the natural landscapes and plants and animals we all enjoy. Prior to this grant program, Volunteer Stewards paid for their own supplies, equipment, protective gear, native seeds and plant plugs, and even herbicide to control weeds and non-native shrubs. With individual donor and corporate support, the Restore Will County Land Stewardship Grants helps these volunteers purchase what they need, whether it be plant material, seed, personal protective equipment, herbicide, small tools or supplies to aid in monitoring activities, or organizing a community workday.
