As though the floodplain forests of Ryerson Conservation Area in Riverwoods, Illinois summoned the smoky green walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and sleek roof. But the new Ryerson Education Center (REC), opened spring 2024, is the culmination of three years of planning and an ambitious goal.
Create a net-zero energy building that produces as much power as it consumes each year. It’s not alone. The Forest Preserves now has three buildings designed to achieve net-zero, and it’s purchasing more energy-efficient vehicles and battery-powered equipment.

Words of the WoodsGrow Your Garden | Season 3, Episode 7In the U.S., more than 40 million acres of land are covered by lawn. To be sure, turfgrass produces oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide just like other plants. It prevents soil erosion by wind and water. It creates curb appeal—a neutral, nearly universal surface.
But lawns crowd out the many gorgeous, hardy, unique native plants that call Illinois and other parts of the country home. Most grasses used in lawns were imported. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) isn’t from the American South; it hails from Europe, Asia and northern Africa. Native animals don’t use it...2025-01-2245 min

They also clean the air, removing 18,600 tons of pollutants from car exhaust and industrial emissions every year.
Increasingly, scientists and doctors are viewing trees and nature as a public health tool to prevent and treat disease. The benefits of trees clearly extend far beyond their branches.

Words of the WoodsBeating the Heat: Part 1 | Season 3, Episode 4“Animals can react to climate change in only three ways: they can move, adapt or die.”
That statement comes from a 2018 article by Renée Cho, a contributor to the Columbia Climate School at Columbia University in New York City.
How much an animal will need to react depends on its species and individual traits. Lake County’s wildlife are particularly vulnerable to climate change compared to elsewhere in Illinois due to the county’s perch in the northeastern corner of the state.

Words of the WoodsGrowing Through Change | Season 3, Episode 3Think of a seed as “a self-contained baby with a lunchbox.”
Each seed contains unique DNA, unique genes, slightly different from other members of the same species. Genes give an individual plant its traits, no different than how human genes code for height, hair color, eye color and so on.
Habitat restoration projects, which the Lake County Forest Preserves specializes in, tend to spread a lot of seeds. It’s one of the least labor-intensive ways to reintroduce native plants to an area, boost existing populations and increase biodiversity.

We aren’t the first generations to discover the loads of fun these activities provide, though. Drawing from the Dunn Museum’s collection and archives, Museum Educator Nicole Stocker is here to give us a snapshot of how Lake County residents enjoyed winter outdoors in the past.
