A different way to mark Veterans Day

This free Crabtree Nature Center program explores a less familiar connection between natural history and military history: how plants have been used in the military. The Forest Preserves places the event in its education, gardening, and history and culture programs, making it a distinctive option for visitors curious about both the outdoors and the past.
