Family Fall Festival
October 13, 2-4 pm
Gillson Bird Habitat
Join Go Green Wilmette and the Wilmette Park District for Family Fall Festival! Autumn is the time when the native plants in the habitat have their seeds ready to spread. We will give them a helping hand by collecting plant seeds and spreading them in areas of the habitat where we need more plants.
While you give the plants a helping hand, join us for nature based crafts, fall themed snacks and tree walks. Enjoy the fall weather, take in the view of Lake Michigan from the habitat`s ridgetop location and have fun with native plants!
