WHAT’S A PLACE YOU LOVE IN THE MIDWEST?

I love Harms Woods, the Forest Preserve in Cook County. It’s close enough to Chicago to be easily accessible but feels like a nice departure from the city. It’s wonderful for walking and running, and is a great place to connect with nature.

WHAT DRIVES YOU TO DO THIS WORK?

I love that this work allows me to help others while working to protect something that I care about. Environmental advocacy allows individuals from all walks of life to connect and support a common cause.
