Join HEParks and the Hoffman Estates Community, May 18, at Black Bear Park, as the Mayor of Hoffman Estates, William McLeod, reads a proclamation as part of the celebration of National Kids to Parks Day. Learn more about Kids to Parks Day here.
The Environmental Club from MacArthur School has made a positive impact in our community and epitomizes The Best of Hoffman.
This past fall, they reached out to the park district about the possibility of teaming together to build a butterfly garden outside of their school to help protect the Monarch Butterfly species. The park district was excited to work with the Environmental Club and advocate for positive change within the local environment. After discussion, it was agreed that the butterfly garden would be located on the west side of MacArthur School, just north of the playground. The Environmental Club jumped into action and began planting fescue seeds, pollinator plants and butterfly weed. The students also designed the sign that will be placed at the butterfly garden.
Special thanks to Hoffman Estates Pack 297 for their hard work planting the community garden at Vogelei Park. The scouts learned how to garden while planting onions, corn, peppers, beans, tomatoes and marigolds in the gardens created as part of a 2014 Eagle Scout Project. #MakingLifeFun Pathway to Adventure Council #HEParks #HoffmanEstates #PathwayBSA #scouting
