    A wildlife corridor is a strip of habitat that wildlife can use to get from one natural area to another. In 2015, local nonprofit West Cook Wild Ones decided to create a wildlife corridor between Chicago’s West Side and the Des Plaines River. A decade later, more than 200 people throughout Austin, Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park have registered their own native gardens as part of that path for wildlife.

      I know those neighborhoods. Great idea.

      There’s a power line easement through Elk Grove Village that would be perfect for that. I imagine it goes through many other municipalities.
