Photographic dispatches from some wonderfully offbeat and eclectic Calumet experiences the last two months-
We've paddled the Cal-Sag Channel for a new perspective, collected native prairie grass seeds to help beautify a preserve, and gathered with environmentally-minded Chicagoans to tour the Argus Brewery in Pullman. Want to get in on the fun? Explore the section of the Little Calumet River and Cal-Sag Channel that we kayaked and canoed by checking out the google map (including a few links to historic images). And check out other unique opportunities to explore the hidden side of the region with diverse, committed partnering organizations. Hope to see you out in the field!
