Make A Difference Day

On Saturday, October 27th, the Water Resources Protection and the Natural Resources Committees of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County invite Defenders’ members as well as members of the public to join them in their efforts to “make a difference” at two sites in Woodstock as part of the national Make A Difference Day event.

Habitat restoration and painting picnic tables will be completed at the Defenders’ property at the headwaters of the Kishwaukee River, while clearing a trail of invasive species will be the task of the day at the Gerry Street Nature Area near Emricson Park. 


The event will begin at 9 am and conclude at noon. Volunteers are asked to wear work clothes and gloves and to park in the Soil and Water District’s parking lot at the SE corner of Hwy. 14 and Dean Street in Woodstock.


All necessary equipment as well as water and snacks will be provided.  Come help us make a positive difference in the environment and enjoy some time outdoors!
