In Partnership with the League of Women Voters. Restoring Nature, Restoring Ourselves. On Earth Day learn what is happening in the natural areas around us!

In Partnership with the League of Women Voters.

In honor of Earth Day, join us to hear what Forest Preserve Restoration is all about. We’ll showcase different participant groups (Forest Preserve Staff, Friends of the Forest Preserves work crews and Friends of Somme Preserve Community) and discuss the benefits of being in nature. Whether you are a worker or a walker or a neighbor, we all benefit from interacting with nature. Come join in person at the Northbrook library or via zoom.
