 | | North Park Village Nature Center offers a "hands on experience of nature," said Ken Davis, public information officer for Chicago's Department of Environment, which took over the nature center in 1993. |
 | | It is in the northwest corner of the North Park Village development complex that includes a recycling center, housing, a chapel and a health center. |
 | | The nature center is located at the former site of a tuberculosis sanitarium which closed in 1974, and is now home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer and a fawn born spring 1998, raccoon, fox, rabbit, occasional coyote, chipmunk, insects, and "creepy crawly" soil creatures like worms, snails, millipedes and pill bugs. |
