Getting outside can be healthy for your heart and the environment. But what if you don’t know where to begin? The Chicagoland Environmental Network is a one stop shop for your organization to post invitations or find opportunities. With over 100 events there is something for everyone, all ages, all abilities. This week we highlight some unique opportunities for youth and families to get outside and make some summer memories with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. There’s nearly 7,000 acres of space for a staycation, fishing and camping. Create your own adventures and make sure to tag us on social media to show the great time outside and the new friends you’ve made @ chicagonewsweekly on all platforms.
