Havenwoods State Forest Cleanup
Overview:
Havenwoods State Forest is Wisconsin's only urban state forest. The forest was created to provide an urban green space and an environmental education center and features 237 acres of grasslands, woods and wetlands in the city of Milwaukee. Admission is free. Join Sunbeam Kids on Saturday, August 23rd from 9:30-11:00 am as we help care for the forest.
What to expect:
Following your GPS you will arrive at the entrance to Havenwoods' entrance. A vehicle admission sticker is not required at Havenwoods. SBK families will gather outside the Nature Center at 9:30 am to get instructions. We will be helping maintain and improve the nature biodiversity of the state forest by removing invasive species.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
Open to all ages and we are happy to welcome as many families as would like to participate, including guest registrations.
What to bring:
The nature center has gardening gloves (kid sizes also) and tools but please bring your own gardening gloves if you have a favorite. If it has rained the night before it might be wet or muddy so please dress appropriately for the outdoors. Bug spray and sunscreen as needed!
What to wear:
Wear outdoor, weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. Kids can wear their Sunbeam Kids shirts if they would like!

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is open to both members* and guest registrations. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up but they are counting on our hands, so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can work to fill your spot.
Thank you to our Board Member Mary Fenelon for leading this project, and thank YOU for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
