Wildlife Monitoring Training

Friends of the Chicago River is restoring habitat for three river-dependent species and we need your help to monitor them!  Working with the Forest Preserves of Cook County on this three-year Wildlife Habitat project, Friends identified bats, turtles, and osprey as key species in our watershed that would benefit from our help.
