Join the stewards of 63rd Street Beach Dunes for a stewardship workday at one of the top dune habitats in Chicago! From removing invasive plants to planting native ones, picking up trash to collecting seeds, this beautiful natural area is in need of a helping hand to ensure it continues to support the many breeding and migratory birds that rely on it.

No experience is necessary. All necessary tools, equipment and instruction will be provided. Please dress for the weather and wear long pants and close toed shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Volunteers are encouraged to bring plenty of water and sun protection.

Contact:
Shedd Aquarium conservation team with any questions and to RSVP: ActionDays@sheddaquarium.org

Directions:
If biking, the lakeshore trail goes right past the site. If taking public transit, the nearest bus route is either the number 6 dropping off at Stony Island and 63rd, or the number J14 dropping off at 67th and Jeffery Blvd. Both are a 15 minute walk from the stop to the beach.
Meet on the beach facing side of the historic beach house. See the google maps pin: https://goo.gl/maps/aKF6rsm7Xt5jnvLn9

Parking:
There is a metered public parking lot onsite just off of Lake Shore Drive. The nearest free parking is on Stony Island and is about a 15 minute walk to the beach.
