The River Forest Park District and the River Forest Parks
Foundation are sponsoring a Zero Waste Campout at Priory Park on Friday,

Truck, campfire stories with the River Forest Public Library, live music from
Rough Around the Edges, a visit from the Forest Preserve District of Cook
County with nocturnal animals, and a late night snack and light breakfast
provided by Whole Foods. “Not only will families be able to experience
the joy and ease of camping almost literally in their own backyards,” said Ross
Roloff, a Parks Foundation Board Member, “but they’ll also learn ways to be
more green, reduce unnecessary waste, and leave our campsite cleaner than we
found it.”
