On June 25, a charming window into the magic of nature opens through a series of enchanting Fairy Houses at select Chicago Park District Natural Areas. These mystical wooden structures, created by partners from local communities, will charm adventurous visitors throughout the city. The Chicago Park District (CPD), in partnership with The Nature Conservancy of Illinois (TNC), is showcasing the Fairy Houses this summer to celebrate the 20th anniversary of CPD Natural Areas and the establishment of the Community Stewardship Program. CPD invited 20 volunteer partners to create 20 Fairy Houses that will be installed at 20 Natural Areas. Each whimsical Fairy House dazzles with creativity, combining natural items such as branches, plants, feathers, rocks and more with unique special touches. There are currently more than 75 Natural Areas throughout the city, totaling 1,890 acres of wetlands teeming with frogs and turtles, prairies buzzing with small birds, savannas filled with butterflies and wildflowers, and more.
