EAST MOLINE, ILLINOIS (June 20, 2024) — River Action is hosting a community clean-up event at the new Amôwa Forest Preserve (19500 Hubbard Rd, East Moline), June 27, 9AM-12PM, to remove invasive honeysuckle. The general public is invited to come show support and learn about how to identify and remove this invasive species.

Note: Be aware that the site is somewhat steep, however, if physical activity is too extraneous, there will be opportunities to work closer to the edge of the preserve.
About The Preserve:
The Amôwa Forest Preserve is a 172-acre property in East Moline, Illinois, that provides space both for public use as well as for establishing critical pollinator habitat.
