WETLANDS PROJECT SEEKS SHARP-EYED VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are needed by the Friends of the Chicago River to help look for possible pioneer or Native-American artifacts at Prairie Wolf Slough, a wetlands restoration project near Lake Forest.

The site, owned by the Lake County Forest Preserve District, is being restored to a wetlands and prairie ecosystem along the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River.

Saturday’s activities start at 9 a.m. in Madsen Hall at Trinity College on Illinois Highway 22, just east of Interstate Highway 94. For more information and to register, call the Friends at 312-939-0490.
