Get hooked on helping wildlife and celebrate Worldwide Knit in Public Day at the forest preserve. Join a naturalist who will guide you through the crochet pattern to crochet small nests that will be used in wildlife rehabilitation centers across the country. These nests provide substitute dens, burrows and bird nests for animals in need. A naturalist will guide you through the crochet pattern process.

Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 12 and older.

Registration required by Thursday, June 12, by calling 815-722-4121 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9583?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true

Note: This is not an instructional crocheting course. Previous crochet experience is required. Materials, including yarn and crochet hooks, will be provided. If you choose to bring your own crochet hook, a G hook is desirable.

Please bring your own folding or camp-style chair so you can sit by the water and enjoy the view while you help wildlife in need.
