Tree Planting on Miller Creek
Help us restore a 250-foot reach of Miller Creek at the Southwest Suburban Sewer District plant. The District will have removed the ivy that currently covers the banks so volunteers can easily plant native trees and shrubs. The plants will shade the stream and provide a home for insects that will fall in the water to feed the fish.
