Cook County Board and Forest Preserves of Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle invites residents to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by joining a day of service in the Forest Preserves with opportunities to volunteer in habitat restoration, litter clean-up and other community-focused activities. President Preckwinkle will kick off the weekend at Eggers Grove for invasive species removal and a brush pile burn. For residents that want to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with the Forest Preserves, there are several opportunities on Saturday, January 18 and Monday, January 20. Programs at different sites will have a range of activities including restoration work, self-led litter clean-ups, crafts, and s’mores and hot cocoa.  Beyond Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, anyone can commit to regularly volunteering in the Forest Preserves by joining a volunteer-led opportunity or through the Select Organized Litter Obliterators, or SOLO, program. SOLO volunteers can choose to go to a Litter Hotspot—specific locations identified for litter clean up—or any Forest Preserves site of their choosing. Volunteer information can be found on the Forest Preserves’ website at fpdcc.com/volunteer.
