Seining with Citizens for Conservation Set for June 1

To celebrate June as Leave No Child Inside month, join Citizens for Conservation in a seining class with CFC’s interns, along with long-time CFC volunteer Tom Vanderpoel. Participants will meet at CFC headquarters, drive to a local site, and use seining nets to see what is in the water. Will there be frogs, fish, mussels, larvae?   Be prepared to get wet and muddy.  Dress according to the weather.  Water shoes/boots or closed-toe shoes are required and must be worn at all times. Bring your own drinking water and use mosquito spray at home.

WHEN: Saturday, June 1, 1 to 5 p.m.

WHERE: Meet at CFC headquarters: 459 West Highway 22 in Lake Barrington, across from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

This class is open to children ages 6 and older. Caregivers are required to attend. No bathrooms are available once we leave CFC.

Class size is limited. Registration forms are found on the Youth Education page on CFC’s website, www.Citizensforconservation.org.  For additional information e-mail youth-ed@citizensforconservation.org or call CFC at 847-382-SAVE (7283).
