RIVER FOREST, Ill. (WLS) -- Charles Darwin is one of the world's famous naturalists. He has contributed to the theory of evolution and documented thousands of species. Darwin's birthday is Feb. 12, and the Forest Preserve of Cook County is celebrating him. Coincidentally, the Forest Preserve of Cook County is celebrating the 100th year of its founding this year.
Naturalist Sara Rose created Darwin Celebration Days. She joined us live during our Sunday morning news from suburban River Forest to tell us about the event.
