Citizens for Conservation Presents “Creepy Crawlers” Class

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon of looking for bugs of all sizes and shapes. We will hike Citizens for Conservation-owned Flint Creek Savanna while learning about the variety of insects that are in our backyard.  Participants will end the class by making a craft inside our old farmhouse.  Please dress for the weather— layers are best.

Location: CFC headquarters: 459 West Highway 22 Barrington, IL 60010.  We're on the south side of Highway 22 between Route 59 and Kelsey Road, across from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

This class is open to children ages 5 and older.  Caregivers are required to attend.  CFC members are free. Non-members pay $5.00 for the first child and $1.00 for each additional child.  Please make checks payable to Citizens for Conservation.
