Please join the Chicago Ornithological Society and our sponsors for a celebration of LaBagh Woods and the Lower North Branch of the Chicago River. This year’s event will feature live music, silent auctions, raffles, and the camaraderie of bird, nature, and habitat restoration enthusiasts. In 2017, we raised over $10,000. This year our $15,000 goal will allow us to continue the restoration of LaBagh Woods and expand into neighboring preserves along the Lower North Branch. 

All proceeds will be used to purchase native shrubs and planting supplies to create a healthy native habitat for birds and other creatures along the Lower North Branch of the Chicago River. The Chicago Ornithological Society was founded in 1912 and is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
