Come celebrate a beautiful Fall Day at the recently completed Willowbrook Conservation Visitor Center. Meet at the Picnic Shelter for refreshments, then explore both the visitor center and the restored natural area behind it.

Everyone is welcome to this free event.  If the weather is not so nice, we will still have a welcome table beneath the shelter, and you can still see the inside of the very informative visitor center.  Dress for the weather if you intend to walk the natural area.

As an added bonus for anyone that is a paid-up member of Greater DuPage Wild Ones, a behind-the-scenes tour of the Conservation Center is offered. A Notice to Register will be sent to members on October 17.  Because the tour group must be kept to a reasonable size, everyone that registers may not be able to get on a tour.  

For anyone that is not currently a member, please do so (or renew) before the Notice to Register goes out. Only Members receiving the Notice will get the information needed to register.  Registration will be open until the maximum number of tour slots are filled.
