The McHenry County Conservation District invites you to explore "Lessons from the Galapagos" from 7 to 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake.

From Darwin's time through today, the Galápagos Islands and their isolated location make for ideal study conditions. Many of the same conservation issues we deal with in northern Illinois are magnified in this special, unique place. Join staff members who made the trip to the islands as they share their experiences, draw the connections between here and there, and bring home the lessons to be learned from the amazing Galapagos.

County residents are admitted free, and cost is $6 for nonresidents. The program is for adults, age 14 and older. Registration deadline is Monday, Jan. 12.

Visit the district's website at MCCDistrict.org to view the programs in greater detail or sign up to receive the seasonal magazine "Landscapes."

Registration is accepted online, by phone for free programs only at (815) 479-5779 or by mail-in and drop-off at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake, or drop-off only at Lost Valley Visitor Center, Route 31 and Harts Road in Ringwood.
