Welcome all homeschool families! Join other middle and high school-aged homeschoolers to experience a naturalist-led field trip at McKinley Woods – Kerry Sheridan Grove. Talk about hands-on! This award-winning program brings students into a forest preserve to participate in an active restoration project. Students learn how non-native species are introduced and what allows them to outcompete native species. Key ecological principles of diversity, competition and endangered species are part of the discussion. Possible restoration work includes seed collecting, non-native species removal and planting of native plants.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 12-18. Participants must be accompanied by an adult.
Registration by phone required by Thursday, March 6: 815-722-9470.
Please note this is not a drop-off program; adults or chaperones do not need to register but must be present for the program.
This is an inclusive field trip, welcoming individuals of all abilities. Four Rivers Environmental Education Center is an accessible facility. Hikes will be up to 2 miles over paved and natural surface terrain. 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.
