As the Covid-19 pandemic shut down shopping malls, movie theaters and indoor recreation, the forest preserves experienced an unprecedented demand for its facilities.
The Conservation Corps run by the Friends of the Forest Preserves take care of the preserves year round for residents to enjoy. This mini audio documentary connects you to a team working at Watersmeet Woods on a snowy cold winter day.
Meet Hillary, Kevin, Carmina, Daisy and Angelica as they cut and burn scrubs in preparation for the spring bloom in the preserve.
