Wild Indigo Nature Explorations

Picture
Eden Place has partnered with Aubudon - Chicago Region, the Forest Preserves of Cook County, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife to launch Wild Indigo Nature Explorations, a community engagement program that exposes Chicago South Siders to the wonders of nature throughout the city and in the nearby Forest Preserves.  We promote healthy bodies, healthy communities, and a healthy planet through free outdoor field trips and activities. Participants have the chance to see the natural beauty of the Calumet Region and play an active role in restoring the prairies and forests to their natural conditions.

Wild Indigo Nature Explorations Goals:
  • Showcase local nature as a friendly, accessible place
  • Build healthy bodies and healthy natural habitats
  • Celebrate the miracle of creation
  • Discover beautiful wild places on Chicago's south side
  • Appreciate natural treasures close to home
  • Promote stewardship


Our explorations provide fun and easy outdoor activities for all adults, and for families with children aged 8 and older.  We will safely enjoy nature and help it at the same time. 


Our activities:
  • Birding
  • Nature walks
  • Seed Collecting
  • Seed planting
  • ...And more!
