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

We’ve been invited back to participate in the Clark Street Beach Bird Sanctuary’s fall project of planting 1,700 native plants!

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 may include a short tour and will include a lot of planting. 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.
