A Collaborative Community Initiative · Waukegan, IL
We envision a Waukegan where everyone — regardless of age, background, or neighborhood — enjoys safe, welcoming access to thriving green and blue spaces.
ABOUT
A grassroots effort to connect Waukegan to the outdoors
Nature Everywhere Waukegan is a collaborative initiative of local partners — from schools and nonprofits to city government and community organizations — working together to make equitable outdoor access a reality for every resident.
Nature is good for Waukegan.
Here’s why, and how we’re making it happen.
