Natural Landscape Seminar Speakers are Confirmed!  Our annual Natural Landscape Seminar will be held on February 18, 2023 in the Luecht Auditorium at McHenry County College.  We’ve confirmed some great speakers this year as we work to restore the seminar after a two year hiatus.  The presenters include Heather Holm, a nationally-known, award-winning author, Shana Byrd, a restoration ecologist at Ohio’s Dawes Arboretum and Gabrielle Cerberville, the creator of the TikTok channel @chaoticforager.  Our final presentation will look at the first ten years of Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge and where it’s going in the future.  We hope you’ll take a break from the winter weather and come hear some wonderful presentations on native plants, habitats and the critters they attract.  We’ve kept the early-bird pricing at a very reasonable $40, which includes all four presentations and access to our vendors, book table and famous buffet lunch.  For those who wish to follow Covid protocols, there will be a section where extra distancing and masks are required.  Online Registration is open, or you may download a registration form.  Click the button below for more details and a schedule of events.
