Get hooked on helping wildlife and celebrate Worldwide Knit in Public Day at the forest preserve. Join a naturalist who will guide you through the crochet pattern to crochet small nests that will be used in wildlife rehabilitation centers across the country. These nests provide substitute dens, burrows and bird nests for animals in need.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 12 and older.
Registration required by Tuesday, June 9, by calling 815-722-4121 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/10059?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
Note: This is not an instructional crocheting course. Previous crochet experience is required. Materials, including yarn and crochet hooks, will be provided. If you choose to bring your own crochet hook, a G hook is desirable. Please bring your own folding or camp-style chair so you can sit by the water and enjoy the view while you help wildlife in need.
Hidden Lakes Trout Farm has paved accessible trails from the parking lot. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online (https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
