NRES Weekend Field Experience in the Chicagoland Area
NRES online students are invited to join NRES 420 students for an exciting weekend of learning and service, Oct. 26 and 27, 2019, in the Chicagoland area. The event will include hands-on restoration work at Deer Grove, a guided tour of the Morton Arboretum with an emphasis on resource management, and exploration of the "Wild Mile" - a system of floating islands in the Chicago River intended to enhance wildlife and restore ecosystem function - and much more! Join fellow students and NRES alumni/practioners who are working to restore and revitalize degraded landscapes in and around the Chicago area.
Transportation to and from all sites and meals will be the responsibility of the student, but carpooling is an option. Admission fees for various activities will be covered by the NRES department. For more information or to indicate your intent to join us for the weekend, please contact Renee Gracon (gracon1@illinois.edu). We must have a final tally of participants by October 10th, but we would appreciate confirmation of interest as soon as possible.
