April 27th, 2024 at 11am!

Meet us at the Garfield Park Bandshell! We can convene here and head up into the park together.

If you are curious about joining our club, all you have to do is show up! We will welcome you, walk with you, and learn together with you. We are all about open-access to education for all. 

If you’re shy, quiet, outgoing, anxious, whatever; we have no expectations, and just hope to see you enjoy the nature around us. And hopefully you can learn something along the way!

This is our inaugural outdoor meetup of the 2024 season. We are so excited to share another year with you.

It may be a bit chilly, so bring layers if needed! Also, feel free to bring a bag to pick up garbage along the way!

Please keep in mind that we will be stopping frequently during our walk, which may be obnoxious to younger folks. When we find something, we stop to discuss our find. It is best if the group all stays together so everyone can see and hear!

Our meetups are family friendly, queer friendly, relaxed, and free!

Due to this foray taking place in an Illinois Park, harvesting of anything is prohibited. During our park and preserve walks, we will be observing, photographing, and discussing our finds. We will also be absolutely respectful of our surroundings as our actions reflect our group as a whole. We can have so much fun without picking anything!
