Create lasting impacts into the region by creating real roots and connections to the land
About Where the Wild Things Grow
The Where The Wild Things Grow program encourages bicycle community involvement in ecological restoration throughout the Chicagoland trail network. The program is a way for Out Our Front Door and its riders to support local environmental organizations and site stewards in the work they do to restore and maintain native habitats in the Lower Lake Michigan Basin Area.
The service days include native seed collecting, invasive plant removal, tree plantings, beach clean-ups, trail restoration days, Buckthorn burns, and really whatever the site stewards request of us.
Our aim is to assist and create native corridors that represent that natural heritage of the landscape for which the trails belong. A network of native paths for trail users, and fauna and flora, which lead to nature preserves and native openlands.
