Residents are invited to learn about practical, everyday ways to apply ecological principles, speak with knowledgeable professionals and homeowners, and meet like-minded neighbors at the annual Green Living & Learning Tour scheduled for Sept. 28 in Oak Park and River Forest.
This year’s tour will feature a local fish farm and wine-making operation, a repair café, and offer an opportunity to learn more about the importance of native plants. Participants will tour stops highlighting solar and geo-thermal installations in private residences, a green condo, various water conservation methods, yard sharing and community gardening.
