Our renovation was made possible by funding from SSC and other donors and by project partner Facilities & Services. We’d love your support for additional improvements! For fundraising, we partnered with CCDC. Joining us is the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, who awarded us a Community Stewardship Challenge Grant.

Garden Improvement Plans: Your gift goes towards garden improvements that benefit both human and wildlife visitors. Plans are to build a boardwalk bridge so people can easily move from one side of the garden to the other. We’ll also have an interpretive sign that educates campus and community.
