| Lincoln Park Zoo (Coming 2010) This garden serves as a sneak peek at one of the major environmental efforts now underway at the Lincoln Park Zoo -- the transformation of the pond adjacent to Café Brauer into the Nature Boardwalk. When completed in 2010, this revitalized landscape will provide a haven for native birds, frogs, fish, insects and mammals while serving as an outdoor classroom for students of all ages. New natural shorelines, native vegetation and a re-engineered pond will provide eight acres of prime habitat for native wildlife and an outdoor classroom for environmental education. The innovative Peoples Gas Education Pavilion will anchor a wide range of learning programs. Mobile labs will promote hands-on lessons on pond ecology, while trained pond naturalists interpret wetlands wildlife. Strolling through the garden at Navy Pier, visitors will experience some of the visual elements that will make the south pond in Lincoln Park one of the city's great natural treasures.
