Meet us at the entrance to West Ridge Preserve on Western.

During this foray we’ll head south down the trail and make our way around the loop. We’ve always had good luck at this location!

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!

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!

Due to this foray taking place in an Cook County Park, harvesting of anything is prohibited. During our park 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!
