Brushwood Center

VISION
We work toward a future of resilient and connected communities, both human and ecological, where all lead healthy and thriving lives.

MISSION
Brushwood Center works collaboratively with community partners, artists, health care providers, and scientists to improve health equity and access to nature in Lake County, Illinois, and the Chicago region. We engage people with the outdoors through the arts, environmental education, and community action. Brushwood Center’s programs focus on youth, families, Military Veterans, and those facing racial and economic injustices.
