Westwood Park Restoration Workday – Volunteers Welcome!

Westwood is a Woodstock-owned Illinois Nature Preserve buffer rich with native plants and also serves as a protective zone that helps slow the spread of invasive species into Yonder Prairie. Come join us this Tuesday as we continue to clear Buckthorn and Honeysuckle on the upland “island” in the middle of the wetland south of the main ridge!

Directions: From Woodstock, take South Street southwest out of town and over 14. After you cross 14, take the first right (north) into the Westwood subdivision. Take all left turns until you hit a dead end. That is, turn left onto Moraine Drive, turn left onto Westwood Trail, continue left onto Westwood Trail, and turn left on Hillside Trail. At the end of Hillside Trail is a grassy two track that will lead to a small parking space and the entry kiosk for the park.
