A morning bike ride and an afternoon walk will be featured at the 23nd annual Wolf Lake Bi-State Wetlands, Wind & Water festival on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
Sponsored by the Association for the Wolf Lake Initiative (AWLI), the festival begins at 9 a.m. near the Visitors Center parking lot at William W. Powers State Recreation Area, 12949 Avenue O, Chicago.
A second event of the Wetlands festival, a hike, begins at 2 p.m. at the entrance to the Mitigation Wetlands in Hammond. It lies at the far west end of 129th Street. Park bikes and cars near the entrance.
Joe Kruczek, director of this year’s cleanup of the Wolf Lake Watershed, will lead the hike. It will be a tour of spring wildflowers, sedges, and shrubs and spring activity of water fowl and small animals.
Hikers should wear long pants, sturdy shoes and long-sleeved shirts. On-line registration is required for both events. Consult AWLI’s website at www.wolflakeinitiative.org.
AWLI is a bi-state not-for-profit organization and land trust seeking to protect and enhance the thousands of acres within the Wolf Lake watershed.
