Scores of events in the city and suburbs will give adults and kids a chance to enjoy the outdoors and help preserve and restore natural areas.
“This year we’re seeing a lot more readiness and energy to engage,” Friends of the Parks Executive Director Juanita Irizarry said. In recent times, she said, “Chicagoans and society at large became a little more aware and appreciative of how important parks are for our resilience.”
People volunteer nearly every weekend to take care of the preserve, primarily by cutting out invasive species such as European buckthorn and collecting seeds to plant from native species.
