ROGERS PARK — Residents are encouraged to join a work day 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Loyola Dune Restoration site just north of Pratt Pier.

Organizers said they would provide gloves and tools to weed the restoration site, a fenced-off section of beach that has grown native dune plants since 2003.
