As a part of the Caravan Music Festival, Calumet Stewardship Initiative partners, including The Field Museum, shared information about the exciting environmental work happening throughout the South Side of Chicago and Northwest Indiana.  The site itself sparked conversations about creative reuse of space in the Calumet Region.
