Lagoon Restoration and Beyond!

Join us at NIU's East Lagoon for a presentation by Dr Courtney Gallaher, NIU Campus Sustainability Coordinator and associate professor. Dr Gallaher will highlight NIU's native plant restoration project at the lagoon, the importance of native plants in the ecosystem, and exciting developments in sustainability at NIU. This outdoor presentation will be followed by a walk around the lagoon on an accessible paved path. Park in the free parking lot on the north side of the lagoon, off of College Ave. Then follow the shoreline west to the group (there is an accessible sidewalk as well). A limited number of folding chairs will be provided and feel free to bring a blanket or chair of your own.
