First Hands, a fellowship group that mixes service projects with fun, invites church members and friends to a work day (morning actually) at the Clark Street Beach Bird Sanctuary.

The Clark Street Beach Bird Sanctuary was created when construction of a large building nearby destroyed a wild refuge that served migrating birds was destroyed.  The new refuge was professionally designed and is cared for by volunteers.

The work day will include a short tour and possibly some planting, weeding, mulching, and/or gathering/sowing of seeds.  Feel free to bring gardening gloves.  We need to provide a rough headcount, so please RSVP to Rebecca Beiter at bob.beiter@comcast.net or 203-885-4097.

The Bird Sanctuary is located along Lake Michigan, just south of the NU campus and immediately north of the Clark Street Beach House at 811 Sheridan Road.
