SUMMARY:Walk on the Wild Side\, Christ the King Parish Natural Area\, August 6\, 2022\, 10AM
DESCRIPTION:Description: On a whim about twenty years ago\, Dave Zieger and John Shiel agreed that they might as well start working to restore a portion of the church property in Wonder Lake that was right across the street from Dave’s living room window. Dave brought it up\, since its neglected condition was more noticed by him than anyone else. John had married into the parish some years prior. We began. Litter and dumped materials were hauled out and invasive trees and shrubs were cut and burned at a relaxed pace. We communicated with the new pastor about the plan\, and it turns out he was fairly conversant with natural area restoration. He gave his blessing\, literally. The site is about 2.5 acres on a total property of 23 acres. It’s an old field of about forty years with only small bits of mowing by a neighbor for aesthetics. We scattered prairie seeds and burned\, sometimes with a permit. Now it shows some success\, while still very much a work in progress. The guided walk starts at 10am.  Note:  This is the first of two garden walks today.\n \nDirections:  The church is on the east (McHenry) side of Wonder Lake. From the stop light intersection of Rte120 and East Wonder Lake Rd\, turn north for 2 mi. Note: the road going south of the stop light is Ridge Rd. After 2 mi.\, at a four-way stop at Hancock Dr.\, turn right and go about two blocks to a stop sign. Turn left for the resumption of East Wonder Lake Rd. and go about a mile north. The church is on the right/east side and is a 1960s A-frame structure. If coming from the north\, use Barnard Mill Rd and turn right close to the Busy Bee Restaurant\, turn south on East Wonder Lake Rd. and go about a half mile. Church is on your left.  5006 East Wonder Lake Road\, Wonder Lake.

SUMMARY:Walk on the Wild Side\, Saturday\, August 6\, 2022\, The Property of John & Caryn Shiel\, 11:15am
DESCRIPTION:Description:  Scattered islands of natural landscaping–all developed over a thirty-year period and placed within the confines of a 1/4 acre city lot. The yard is planted with a delightful combination of native plants\, various grasses\, native shrubs and trees. John will discuss “his dilemma” of what to do about shade created by mature trees and shrubs on his sun-loving plants.  The owner-guided walk starts at 11:15am\, or whenever the group arrives from the first walk at Christ the King Parish.  Note:  This is the second of two garden walks today. \nDirections:  From the church\, turn left (south) and go about 600 yards to the third right\, Hiawatha Drive. Turn right and go through the four-way stop intersection. In 75 yards\, turn right on Winnebago Drive. The Shiel house is the second one on the left\, 4707 Winnebago Drive in Wonder Lake. It’s the one with the oak trees and prairie.  Street parking protocol around here is to park about half your vehicle OFF the road surface\, with tires on the grass. Thanks for your cooperation.
