A BIKING TOUR TO VISIT PARKWAYS FOR POLLINATORS GARDENS IN EDGEWATER! HAVE FUN AND BUILD SKILLS OF PLANT ID AND SEED COLLECTION!

Hello EEC friends, community members, and environmental stewards! In our last meeting, we discussed how we can reimagine EEC meetings (any ideas?!), transit initiatives and ordinances, zoning and housing ordinances, the AFGE Council 238, and upcoming events. Transit systems across Illinois are at risk of losing funding, and you can push for solutions via your alderperson and lawmakers . Want to learn more about Parkways for Pollinators and seed saving?
