Celebrate Recycle Day at Glenview Prairie Nov. 15

From Glenview Park District

Each year, America Recycles Day is honored around the nation. It’s a day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling through thousands of grassroots events held across the nation.

Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie/Tyner Center, 2400 Compass Road, is celebrating America Recycles Day on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The free community-wide event will be filled with family activities, tours of the building, nature walks, environmental exhibits and much more.

Spend a portion of the day discovering why recycling is so important. Tour the amazing Evelyn Pease Interpretative Center and see how recycled materials were incorporated in the building, and what makes the building eco-friendly.

Pick up some recycling resources and participate in fun family activities including a family recycling scavenger hunt and learn how to make paper from recycled paper scraps and much more.

Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie is a 32-acre remnant of a tall-grass prairie that once stretched for millions of square miles across North America.

Originally developed and financed by the Village of Glenview, the prairie and Interpretive Center allows visitors to gain a better understanding of this unique environment.

Exhibits at the Tyner Interpretative Center illustrate the many aspects of the prairie environment.

The building serves as a showcase for “green technology,” while pathways through the property allow visitors to experience the changes in the prairie through the various seasons.
