This morning workmen with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County were busy locking gates and placing signs such as the one pictured above at Crabtree Nature Center. The signs read:
“To follow public health guidelines for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) the nature center bulding & grounds are closed until further notice. “
What’s ironic is the signs read, “feel free,” at the bottom. Though no signs were present, all entrances to Horizon Farms were closed as well.
Kevin B. Morrison is our Commissioner in Cook County, and his contact information can be viewed here. “Feel free” to contact him.
This is a travesty. All health officials note the benefits of getting outside, fresh air, vitamin D, exercise! There are no jungle gyms or swings to be concerned with kids rubbing their noses before grabbing the bars. What have we become?!
