Urban Wilderness prepares to expand its outreach to Minneapolis as new staff members participate in a canoe build.

"They were able to disconnect from the constant stream of feeds and connect to the rhythm of the natural world and themselves as an imperative part of it."

News article from Chicago’s Daily Herald touches on upcoming boatbuild with Waukegan students and our partnership with The Center for Conservation Leadership.
