🌿🌱🌳We welcome you to join us for a community restoration session and a free weaving workshop on invasive species.

Saturday, April 11TH || 11am – 2pm CDT

Audubon Great Lakes' Wild Indigo Nature Explorations, along with Artist Cori Lin, invite you to an educational experience to learn mitigation techniques of invasive species in Illinois, including phragmites and buckthorn, and how we can creatively utilize these plant materials.

This workshop is a great introduction to conservation, weaving, and a chance to connect with the land, our individual cultures, while also fostering curiosity about environmental and bird advocacy.
