The tornado that hit Chippiannock Cemetery on April 4 caused incredible damage to the historic trees. Illinois Extension is hosting a clean-up in partnership with the Chippiannock Cemetery Association. With the philosophy of many hands make light work, volunteers are invited to join the event on May 3, 2023 from 9 - 11 a.m. An education tree walk will be offered at 11 a.m.
Volunteers are asked to register for the event in advance, but walk-ins are welcome. Activities will include pick up and transport of sticks, small branches, and pre-cut logs. Participants are encouraged to wear close-toed shoes and be prepared to walk on uneven terrain.
If available, volunteers are encouraged to bring their own wheelbarrows, garden carts, or trucks to transport tree material. Community members are welcome to take the debris with them for personal use.
