This summer Openlands and the Forest Preserves of Cook County will celebrate the aquatic environments of our region. The Calumet Water Trails Workshop provides a great opportunity to learn about these magnificent areas. Learn about the ecology and history of Powderhorn Lake, with an emphasis on birds of prey and paddle on the lake! Lunch will be served after the trip.

Call the Forest Preserves to reserve your spot: at 708-771-1010. If you have a large group and would like to request a bus contact Laura Barghusen at Openlands to make arrangements.
