Summer walk along the Wild Mile, the world’s first-ever floating eco-park on the Chicago River. Native plants provide habit above and below water while filtering the river. #wildmile #nativeplants #wetlandrestoration #urbanwildlife

Tonight, we did our #WildMile for #NationalMammalWeek. We saw a mouse, a hare, and two deer. I couldn't get the photo function on the app to work, so here are some pictures I snapped on other walks.

The #WildMile is set on the north branch of the Chicago River. It has ADA-accessible boardwalks with floating artificial habitats, and is sublime. Thanks @urbanrivers, @cityofchicago and @shedd_aquarium

I had fun doing some odonate (dragonflies and damselflies) monitoring today at the @urbanrivers.bsky.social #WildMile on the #ChicagoRiver. The river really is in remarkable condition, considering what it once was. I also learned about duckweed (Lemnoideae), a floating aquatic invasive plant.
