The Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park is looking for some volunteers to remove bush honeysuckle and provide general park maintenance. The Park is hosting a restoration workday on October 5th from 8:30-11 AM. Volunteers are asked to wear gloves. Judy Parrish, who is a professor of biology at Millikin University, says the park is suffering from this bush honeysuckle. 

Parrish says she is happy for the support and volunteers that have helped so much already this season. The park has been working hard to restore and bring people back.

Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park is located 10 miles straight west of Decatur. Take Route 36 to Lincoln Trial memorial Parkway and go south four miles with the park on the east side of the road. For more information contact Judy Parrish at jparrish@millikin.edu
