The Bridgeview Community Center Cub Scouts recently teamed up with Shedd education staff members and got their hands dirty as they participated in a habitat restoration project at Illinois Beach State Park. The pack heaved heavy logs, stomped through muddy water and stacked up unwanted litter. All of this effort and dedication helped to unclog the park’s drainage system, benefiting plants and animals alike. Shedd would like to thank the Bridgeview Cub Scouts for all their help and commitment in becoming the next generation of natural world ambassadors. Check out other youth activities at Shedd.
