The full day of fun includes a bilingual bird walk that kicks off at 8:30 a.m. at Sagawau Environmental Learning Center in Lemont and wraps up with a concert by Funkadesi along with lake paddles, night hikes and s’mores starting at 4 p.m. at Camp Bullfrog Lake in Willow Springs.
In between, a nature bike ride will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at Beaubien Woods in Chicago. Other events are at Thatcher Woods Pavilion in River Forest, Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington and LaBagh Woods in Chicago.
“As the seasons turn, there’s even more to see and do in the Forest Preserves and that deserves a party,” said Forest Preserves General Superintendent Arnold Randall. “This year we are also marking the 30th anniversary of National Public Lands Day and the 60th anniversary of the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission. We have a lot to celebrate!”

BLM proposes 50-year mining ban in Placitas, New MexicoThe Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced a proposed 50-year ban on new mining and oil and gas development in the Placitas area, New Mexico. The proposed mineral withdrawal would prevent new claims and developments in the area to safeguard Tribal lands, boost local recreation opportunities and support wildlife habitat connectivity. In a statement on Monday, the Department of Interior explained that Pueblos of San Felipe and Santa Ana had long sought protections for the Placitas area, which they consider ancestral and sacred lands. The site, located near the Albuquerque metro area, also provides close-to-home outdoor recreation opportunities and is popular for hiking, camping, sightseeing and hunting. The proposal would help protect, preserve and promote the scenic integrity, cultural importance, recreational values, and wildlife habitat connectivity within the Placitas area.
