Sierra Club Illinois to Host Workdays at Wadlow Creek Restoration Area, May 9, 2026
The Three Rivers Project of Sierra Club Illinois is calling for volunteers to support the on going efforts at the Wadlow Creek Restoration Area, formerly the Robert P. Wadlow Municipal Golf Course in front of the Alton Regional Multimodal Transportation Center that houses Amtrak. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but parental supervision is needed for youth 16 year olds and younger.
The Wadlow Workday will give local community members the opportunity to take action to protect the environment here in the Metro East by removing litter, last year’s plant debris, and invasive species from the creek restoration area, and planting up to 140 native plants. Volunteers are needed between 9:30am and 12:00pm: community members are invited to register for Saturday’s event at sc.org/SpringPlantingMay9.
Park in the Kohl's parking lot, nearest the trail head. Volunteers will gather at the dead end of Golf Road (by the no parking signs) and head down the trail. If you get there after they depart, please walk down to find them; volunteers can stay as long as they’d like. Event organizers recommend that volunteers wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes. Bring a water bottle and sunscreen/hat. Tools and snacks will be provided to all participants.
