Looking for something to do this weekend?
We vote for heading over to the Illinois State Museum from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 25 for "Fall into Biodiversity." This free, family event involves activities including designing fall posters, creating monarch migration mobiles, playing a bird migration game, and enjoying the museum's exhibits. Plus visitors will learn about how plants and animals prepare for winter, how leaves turn colors in the fall, how to help birds as they migrate, and more.
At noon and 2 p.m., you can listen to Rob Mies from the Organization for Bat Conservation as he presents "Bat Encounter." At 1 p.m., Wildlife Prairie State Park presents "Illinois Winter Life."
To learn more about the event, visit the Illinois State Museum website.
It's great to see more and more states taking active steps to educate and develop appreciation and promote awareness that will lead to people looking for renewable energy solutions to help preserve our environment.
