Northbrook Public Library

Pollak Room AB - First Floor

Learn how volunteers restored degraded land in Northbrook into a thriving habitat teeming with endangered animals and plants. Somme Preserves are an ecological community treasure that is growing.

Today, Northbrook's Somme Preserves are a thriving home to hundreds of native plants and animals, but this was not always the case. Forest Preserve Steward Christos Economou illustrates how volunteers transformed degraded land into some of the finest tallgrass prairie, savanna, and woodland ecosystems in the region. He will also discuss plans for restoring additional land.

Presented by Friends of Northbrook Forest Preserves

Learn about the three Somme areas on the Forest Preserves website: https://fpdcc.com/places/locations/somme-preserves/

This program will be recorded.
