In 2005, a coalition
of local open-space advocates won their campaign to permanently protect a
25-acre parcel of woods and wetlands adjacent to the Chicago Read Mental Health
Center on Chicago's Northwest Side. The purpose of the Dunning Read Conservation
Area is to preserve, enhance, restore and maintain the natural features, wetland
resources and the site's ecology. Throughout the year, Friends of the Parks
hosts both community and corporate service days at DRCA to help with these
efforts.
If you are
unable to make it June 6, but are interested in volunteering with Friends of the
Parks, please contact
