To celebrate Earth Month, do a little bit to help your mother (Earth)! Staff at The Tackle Box bait shop at Hidden Lakes Trout Farm will provide a bucket and picker to help you do your part. Pick up litter around the forest preserve to contribute to a cleaner environment and earn a gift! We will have ice cream and other sweet treats on hand for your choosing. Everyone who participates in the cleanup efforts will receive a treat. Remember: A clean Hidden Lakes is a happy Hidden Lakes!
