For some, going ‘green’ is nothing new

The Natural Land Institute is celebrating its half-century mark this year. The organization might be best-known for its annual Wildflower Weekend. I recall hearing about native plant sales, too.
According to the NLI site, it has protected, managed and restored more than 12,000 acres in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

Its next event is a Fall Harvest Festival, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Nygren Wetland Preserve in Rockton.

P.S. If you have a photo from last weekend’s banquet, let me know.
