Once again, we are pleased to host The Homewood Science Center (HSC), which will be conducting their 9th annual Walk Walton fund raising event at the Preserve on Sunday Oct 19th from 10am until 1pm. This year's fest will again feature the popular Illinois Natural History Survey’s Traveling Exhibit, an insect petting zoo, Spooky Slimy science in Black Bear Lodge, exploring nature with representatives of the Forest Preserves of Cook County, the Challenger Learning Center of NW Indiana, participating in a special project led by the Middle School Conservation Ecology interns, plus pumpkin decorating in the pumpkin patch.
