The Friends of Grant Park hosted an educational/fundraiser event called Trek ‘n Treat. Participants followed the trails through the 7 Bridges area to several stations in the park, and answered nature-related questions. They received treats along the way! The long route meandered through the ravine; the short route was an accessible option. In Shelter 5A, refreshments were for sale, and there were activities such as pumpkin painting, birding information and nature related to the park and its unique habitat. Costumes were optional, but check out the costumes of some of the kids! Volunteers were also encouraged to come in costume. Here are some photos from this year’s event. Thanks to Pam Uhrig for all these photos.
