Join us for the family-centric event! Booking Reading of “From Marsh to Shore, Let Nature Roar”

Jaxson Bailey is a Waukegan resident and senior at Waukegan High School. Over the summer, he participated in The Center for Conservation Leadership's Eco-Ambassador Internship. Through this process, he completed a capstone project - a children's book about the wildlife and habitats present at Illinois Beach State Park. Through a collaboration with CCL partner, Lyndsey Murphree, his words have come to life in the style of a coloring book. Jaxson plans to become EMT certified and join a fire crew once he graduates high school. 

Jaxson will lead a book reading and then we invite our guests to tour the exhibit “Through the Eyes of the Piping Plover: the Flora, Fauna and People of the Waukegan Shores.”
