Overlooking Glencoe Beach are parent Amy Briggs of Glencoe with children Vivian, 7, and Eloise, 5, at the Earth Day Clean-Up event at Glencoe Beach on April 20, 2024 in Glencoe. Glencoe’s Earth Day Clean-Up event on Saturday, April 20 left Glencoe Beach and the Robert Everly Wildflower Sanctuary along Linden and Jackson Avenues was renewed this year thanks to volunteers.
The rain or shine event was free. Volunteers were asked to bring boots, gloves and buckets to collect debris. Refuse and recycling cans were placed at each cleanup location. Likely a candidate as this year’s notable find was at Glencoe Beach. Found past the boat house to the north of the public recreational beachfront was a long metal pole on the shoreline carried back to the Adda & Paul Safran Beach House, maybe a good 200 yards away, by two North Shore youth.
Also attending as volunteers was the newer Glencoe Daisy Girl Scout Troop 47866 led by co-leaders and Glencoe parents Liz Corbett, Carrie Miller-Mygatt and Nicole Segretto. Erika Doroghazi, arts and youth program manager for the Glencoe Park District, staffed a table to explain beekeeping to patrons. The district maintains three honey bee hives that produce enough honey to sell at the Takiff Center front desk when there is enough to comfortably share with the public, without impacting the honey friendly home.
