</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The Chicago Botanic Garden’s Plant Science and Conservation program is a global leader in plant-based research, education, and engagement to sustain and enrich life. The Garden’s mission
is grounded in the belief that caring for gardens and natural areas is fundamentally important to the well-being of everyone. We strive to make the Garden and all its programs available and accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. We value
diversity in all its forms and at every level of our organization – board, staff, volunteers, and vendors. Through the diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and experience, the Garden is more effectively able to create extraordinary and welcoming experiences
for our increasingly diverse audiences. We are committed to ensuring a sense of belonging to every individual we encounter, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, intellectual ability, or economic status.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">About McDonald Woods</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">: Since 1988, ecological restoration in the Garden’s 100-acre McDonald Woods
has transformed a formerly-degraded oak woodland into a natural treasure that supports hundreds of plant and animal species, including a dozen rare and endangered species. In 2013 these efforts were recognized with a “Gold Accreditation” from the Chicago Wilderness
Excellence in Environmental Restoration Program. Within its 100 acres, McDonald Woods is home to five community types and a startling amount of diversity across trophic levels. In addition to restoring plant species diversity in these habitats, Garden ecologists
have collected invaluable data on the diversity of organisms present in them across trophic levels. These surveys have revealed hundreds of species of mammals, birds, plants, and arthropods, with several species never documented before in the state of Illinois
and some species new to science. Learn more about Jim Steffen, who is retiring after leading these efforts in McDonald Woods for more than 30 years, and his more recent work documenting moth species in McDonald Woods (more than 600 taxa and counting) in

Woods, the Garden’s 100 acre remnant oak woodland. Work with the Garden's natural areas team of ecologists to collaboratively manage natural areas across the Garden. Working with staff in the Garden’s Negaunee Institute for Plant Conservation Science and Action,
as well as staff and programs throughout the Garden, the Woodland Ecologist will also help to develop and support related onsite research, learning, and community engagement activities. This includes ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment while supervising
