Yesterday we took part in The Conservation Foundation River Sweep, today we celebrate Earth Day! GRWA is proud to do our part in keeping our planet clean! 🌎 🌱

Congratulations to Noelle, GRWA’s Environmental Resource Specialist, for earning her CPESC (Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control)! 🎉 This prestigious certification recognizes her expertise in protecting our land and waterways from erosion and sediment pollution. Noelle’s dedication and hard work help ensure sustainable practices and a healthier environment for our community. 🌿💧Join us in celebrating this amazing achievement!

World Wetland Day is celebrated on February 2nd each year. It is significant to recognize wetlands' critical role for the planet and human well-being. This holiday raises awareness about the vital need to protect and restore these ecosystems. We honored World Wetland Day this year with a presentation from Ellen Raimondi, GRWA’s Senior Natural Resource Consultant. Ellen did an excellent job explaining wetlands and their impact on landscape architecture.

While her skills in natural resources consulting have been well documented for over a decade, Ellen Raimondi is officially recognized as a Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) by the Society of Wetland Scientists. We at GRWA congratulate her on this achievement!

Getting in the holiday spirit by doing some crafts at the office! Recently, our team decorated beautiful ornaments for the office tree. 🎄🌨️ #officespirit #teambuilding

Happy World Snake Day! Snakes play a vital role in the health of our ecosystem as both predator and prey species. A healthy snake population keeps pest species in check by feeding on rodents, slugs, and insects, and provides food for birds and other mesopredators such as foxes and raccoons. Illinois is home to 40 snake species, with eleven of these species listed as state threatened or endangered. Much of the decline is due to habitat loss and alteration, poaching, and killing out of fear. We can support these snake populations by preserving natural habitats they occupy, such as wetlands, grasslands and riparian corridors along rivers and streams. Additionally, creating native areas near urban environments can provide safe spaces away from backyards and homes. While snakes may bite if provoked, snake species in the Chicagoland area are harmless. Historically, the only venomous snake species present in Chicagoland was the Eastern massasauga, which has not been observed in this area for several decades.
