See the summer show of native vegetation that has responded to almost 40 years of volunteer restoration, and look for the nesting birds and other wildlife that have benefited.

Long pants, a hat and bug spray essential, and it may be muddy – be prepared.

Meet at the Northbrook Post Office parking lot, Dundee and Western.
