This project is open to all visitors of Lake Katherine Nature Center & Botanic Gardens in Palos Heights, Illinois. Reports of all types of wildlife are welcomed and encouraged. Through this project, visitors will be able to share with each other what they have observed on-site and will have an opportunity to learn about the flora and fauna of the area. The data collected will also allow us to gauge the success of our continued restoration efforts and guide us in future restoration.

As you record observations, please be mindful of the whether the species you've seen have been planted as part of a garden or restoration project, or are growing naturally. We would like to have both types of observations included in our project, but want to make sure the appropriate box is checked if they are not naturally-occurring.

Thank you for participating! less ↑
