Outdoor Programs Map from IECO (Illinois Early Childhood Outdoors)

This is a list of locations in Illinois that host nature-based programming, including forest schools, playgroups, and public institutions. If you work with children outside, this is a resource for you to connect with other local providers. If you are a parent, we hope this helps you find quality outdoor programming.

If you do not see your group represented please add yourself to the map using this link: https://arcg.is/0WG1bW
