About this Event
We are partnering up with Realtor, Bonnie Hawksworth to bring you a special spring hike with Nathanael Pilla.
Join botanist Nathanael Pilla on this exclusive hike through a series of rare habitats. Expect to see plants rare in the Chicago region as well as species that may not be noticed without keen eyes. From showy flowers to indescript sedges, this will be a hike you will be talking about for years. The hike will begin by the Marquette Park boathouse, go down Chanute Trail and back on the beach. You will learn about the area, the wildflowers and much more.
All attendees receive a Dig the Dunes drawstring bag with a few goodies. Those who are interested can head over to Miller Beach Box for lunch after the hike.
Rain date: Sunday May 17.
