The Natural Web: Local Sites Provide Guide to Nature

Bring the delicate song of an Indigo bunting to your desktop at the Chicago Department of the Environment (DOE) Web site, "A Bird's Eye View of the Migratory Bird Route." The newly launched site features the sights, sounds and habitat needs of the birds that rest and nest in Chicago Wilderness.

You can also take a "Chicago River Tour" on yet another DOE site. Virtually explore the Chicago River's environment, learn its history, and meet the groups and agencies that are working to restore this natural resource.

To find out about nature workshops, fieldtrips, and volunteer opportunities throughout the city, download "The Nature Chicago Calendar" as a PDF from the Chicago DOE "Natural Resources" page.
