On April 29, twelve volunteers from CCAS partnered with the Urbana Park District to plant over 200 live stakes of shrubs that benefit birds (Elderberry, Viburnum, and Buttonbush) near the bridge entering Busey Woods in Urbana. These will help to replace invasive honeysuckle that was removed, stabilize the bank of the creek there, benefit the local ecosystem, and most importantly help the birds.

Thank you to our volunteers and to the Urbana Park District for collaborating with us!
