http://www.beyondtoday.org, a grass-roots organization based in Lincoln Square that works to better the envrionment. They support and maintain the organic gardens at Waters School, and participate in Friends of the Chicago River events, as well as working on the campaign to stop BP from dumping in Lake Michigan.
*Join us for an Urban Foraging Walk in Ravenswood
Sunday, August 24th
2-4 pm*
Meeting Place: Waters School Garden (Sunnyside and
Campbell near Lincoln Square)
Nance Klehm has been foraging urban areas and
particularly Chicago for medicines, foods and
seeds for several years. She believes that urban
foraging is a wonderful way to connect directly
to all urban land whether managed forest, coddled
backyards, heavily trafficked public parks,
lonesome transportation ways and so-called vacant
lots.
Come curious and with a few paper bags, cameras, or sketchbooks and learn
about what plants are sharing this city with you!
Urban forage walks are by donation.
