Creek Restoration & Garden Cleanup at Illick’s Mill
Join Us
Did you know that Monocacy Creek supports trout because of the cold springs that flow into it? You can join MCWA volunteers as we restore one of those springs at Illick’s Mill! We will be planting native shrubs and will also be cleaning up the native gardens around the Mill.
No experience necessary! MCWA will provide gloves and tools.
