ISAS staff recently conducted four days of training and outreach activities to introduce several
Forest Preserves of Cook County (FPCC) resource management groups to the archaeological history of the Cook County Forest Preserves. The groups included: Chicago Conservation Leadership Corps and Forest Preserve Experience Program youth crews, GreenCorps Chicago and Friends of the Forest Preserve crew members, as well as Resource Management Career Immersion interns. Activities ranged from learning about how stone tools are made and identifying artifacts, to trying their hand at traditional pottery making, as well as a mock excavation.
