Save Our Sanctuary

The planned Tiger Woods Golf Course would destroy the South Shore Nature Sanctuary, turn it into a golf green, and restrict public access. We're fighting back.

The proposed Tiger Woods Golf Course on the South Side will destroy the beloved South Shore Nature Sanctuary. And all to turn it into a private green lawn. Please join us in saving it. #SouthSideParks

Happy Earth Day! Please start your tenure as mayor by protecting the beautiful South Shore Nature Sanctuary, a rare refuge on the south side home to wildlife and native plants.

[Brandon Johnson @Brandon4Chicago]

Happy #EarthDay, Chicago! Today, we celebrate the incredible beauty and diversity of our planet, and recommit ourselves to protecting and preserving it for generations to come. I look forward to working together to create a more sustainable, green, and resilient city. 🌎🌱🌲

If you're not voting for @Brandon4Chicago... you need to change your mind.

[Emily Tallo @emily_tallo]

Voted for @Brandon4Chicago & @yancyforthe5th with the automatic mail-in ballot I’ve had for the last several local elections. Hope these candidates prioritize transportation, protect the South Shore Nature Sanctuary, and keep the Tiger Woods golf course out of the South side.

Love these photos from today's prescribed burn at the Sanctuary. It's amazing how quickly everything grows back, greener and more beautiful than ever. Sometimes scorched earth is the best policy

[Susannah Ribstein @susannahribs]

All the parks advocacy work I do is kind of a slog but the payoff is when you get 1 hour's notice of a prescribed burn at the #SouthShoreNatureSanctuary & drop everything to show up and follow along.

Getting the "terrorist" designation because people want to... checks notes... preserve trees and flowers and prairies and forests

Shameless plug: I started a project to make Chicago's arts spaces Covid-safer by supplying hepa air purifiers to musicians and venues free of charge. Please follow me at @Clean_Air_Club_ and donate if you're able! We keep us safe :)

[Clean Air Club @Clean_Air_Club_]

Good morning! Today's a great day to donate to our fundraiser :) If I raise $100 more today, I can purchase another @SmartAirFilters Blast Mk II mini to loan out to Chicago musicians. Thank you!!!

If you need some ideas of what to write -- including facts about the deep root structures and erosion-proofing that native plants provide -- see this earlier thread!

[Save Our Sanctuary @SOS_Sanctuary]

The South Shore Nature Sanctuary is comprised entirely of native plants - and native plants have root structures that extend deep into the earth, protecting the landscape by making it more resilient in the face of storms, winds, and lakeshore erosion. 🧵

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking feedback on the Chicago shoreline. Please take a moment to submit a 2-sentence comment (no log-in required!) about the Sanctuary and the importance of preserving it to control shoreline erosion. :)

Thank you for having me last night, @slomoparty. Y’all sure do know how to throw a party! 🪩 Honored to be the first elected official ever invited to the festivities in all 12 years of Slo’Mo! Immensely proud to be an ally of Chicago’s LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This guy gave $700,000 to Paul Vallas and cOinCiDeNtALLy is on the board to develop the Tiger Woods Golf Course. Pushing back against the Vallas campaign is essential to saving the South Shore Nature Sanctuary. Thanks to @susannahribs for the tip!
