Forest Park Forever’s 26th Annual Forest Restoration Day

When: Sunday, November 2, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.

What and Where: Forest Park experts have selected appropriate trees for reforestation planting in the Successional Forest and Anne O'C. Albrecht Nature Playscape. 

Who: This Park Project Day is appropriate for individuals, small volunteer groups and families with children over the age of 10. Children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times.

What to Wear: Volunteers should bring work gloves and wear weather-appropriate attire that you don't mind getting dirty, including long pants, long sleeves and sturdy closed-toe shoes with socks. This attire helps protect limbs, minimizes exposure to poison ivy and is required for safety.

What We’ll Bring: Forest Park Forever will provide beverages and snacks. We will also provide an assortment of gloves, shovels, and required safety equipment. Volunteers may bring their own work gloves. 

How: This progressive restoration work, including the supplies needed to staff and operate volunteer events, is only possible thanks to our Forest Park Forever supporters. To keep our work going, consider becoming a member or renewing your membership today.
