How the Cook County Forest Preserves Went Virtual

Clip: 2/23/2021 | 4m 2sVideo has Closed Captions

The district is livestreaming educational programs like “Two Owls and a Naturalist.”

Animals that wouldn’t be able to survive on their own in the wild are getting the care they need, and are helping educate the public, at five forest preserve nature centers around Cook County. But during COVID-19, people aren’t allowed to go inside these centers, so the animals and their caretakers reach out virtually.
