River Forest is a community that treasures its natural spaces and values environmental education, making the Junior Naturalist Club at Hal Tyrrell Trailside Museum of Natural History a true local gem. This event not only enriches the lives of children aged 7-12 by connecting them to the local wildlife, but it also strengthens community bonds by fostering a shared appreciation for the outdoors. The Trailside Museum, with its warm, accessible atmosphere and engaging displays, offers a unique gathering place where families and young nature lovers can learn together. Participating in the Junior Naturalist Club helps ensure that River Forest’s future generations retain a sense of stewardship and wonder for the natural world right in their own backyard. This monthly club is more than just an event — it’s an investment in our community’s future, environment, and heartfelt connection to nature.
