Teal Tidings - February 2010
Whether we have six more weeks of winter or not, we LOVE nature. It gives us clean air, water, food and shelter. Our environment can also impact our mental and physical health. Being out in nature can lessen stress, anxiety and tension.
With all that nature gives us, please give back. Here are a few February opportunities.
• NATIONAL GREEN WEEK - Feb. 1-5
• GREAT BACKYARD BIRD COUNT - Feb. 12-15
• CALLING FROG SURVEY - Throughout the month
You also may have many volunteer opportunities in your area for clean ups, restoration and community service. Contact us if you live in Will or Cook County for upcoming scheduled dates.
We are excited about the new Wetland Discovery Center in Park Forest, IL. On Feb. 18th ME4E will be leading an ISAT focused astronomy program called Just Look Up. Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page for details. This will be the FIRST of many programs ME4E will be offered in the WDC. When you become a fan of ME4E on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, you will receive updates for community programs, grants opportunities and other “green” news.
