Free| Living in Riverwoods is a wonderful and unique experience! In collaboration with the Village, Lake County Forest Preserve, our Village Ecologist, and others, the Riverwoods Preservation Council invites you to an educational and social event to better understand resources that are available to preserve our environmentally rich community today and for the future. |
