March 9th, 2024 at 11am!

Meet us in front of the “Kayak Chicago Montrose Beach” stand near the beach. We will meet here and walk into the sanctuary 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!

Forays on public land mean harvesting is okay! So if we find anything scientifically significant we can collect it and send it off to have its DNA sequenced.
