Thomas Jefferson Area

The Thatcher Woods Savanna Restoration Project is a community based organization formed in June, 1990 to restore "an ecosystem poised on the verge of extinction." Our volunteer efforts have been a turning point in restoring the oak savanna in GAR and Thomas Jefferson Woods to its pre- European settlement state. The project operates within the Volunteer Stewardship Network in a cooperative effort with the Cook County Forest Preserves District.
