A COMMUNITY WALK FOR THE WILDLIFE THAT HAS NO VOICE

Join neighbors for a walk and conversation in Thatcher Woods to learn about the proposed O'Hare Flyer and the potential impacts that construction and trains every 7.5 minutes could have on this treasured forest, its ecosystems, and the wildlife that call it home — including endangered bats, birds, and the many species that depend on this habitat.

Saturday, October 17th 9 – 10 AM
