Second Annual Twilight Nature Walk at Rosehill Cemetery
Join the Chicago Council on Science and Technology on Wednesday, October 29th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM for the second annual Twilight Nature Fest at Rosehill Cemetery, an evening of nature exploration under the autumn twilight.
Come learn about the diverse plants and wildlife that call this space home and discover how ecosystems adapt and flourish amidst city life. This special event will feature guided nighttime walks led by experts from the Illinois Audubon Society, Insect Asylum, West Ridge Nature Park Advisory Council, and the Chicago Mushroom Club, offering a unique opportunity to explore the wildlife and ecosystems of this historic cemetery after dark. Some walks will be available for a small fee due to the limited amount of spots available. Or do a self-guided tour through the many stations of exploration set up near the entrance and the interesting graves and points of history throughout the grounds, for free!
Get up close to owls, hawks, and falcons during a live meet-and-greet session with the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab, or stop by the UV mushroom table, where Chicago Mushrooms will demonstrate the glowing effects of UV-reactive fungi. Explore hands-on activity and education tables throughout the event, hosted partners include the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and West Ridge Nature Park.
