Wild Things Conference on March 1, 2025
See My Brand New Show
& Learn About Chicagoland’s Natural Wonders

On Saturday, March 1st, emerge from your winter haven and into the warmth and excitement of fellow nature lovers to learn about Chicago’s natural wonders at the 2025 Wild Things Conference.

On March 1st, I’m performing a new show at the 2025 Wild Things Conference entitled “The Enchantment of Light: How Earth’s Star Can Bring Magic to Your Nature Experience“. It’s an inspirational multimedia experience where I show how an awareness of light can give you a fresh perspective on the world and make your nature adventures even more beautiful and enchanting than they already are.

Remarkably, almost everything I’ve learned about Chicago nature over the last three decades didn’t come from books, magazines, or the Internet. My knowledge has come from years of talking to people I’d meet on the trails, volunteering on work days, and from events like the upcoming 2025 Wild Things Conference scheduled for Saturday, March 1st in Rosemont at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.

This biennial event is for nature enthusiasts who want to learn more about our region’s wondrous flora, fauna, and natural history from dozens of passionate presenters. And it’s also a great place to make new friends. And while you’re there, please attend my 11:15 AM performance in Room 40.

I hope to see you there!
