What Sets the Crystal Lake Nature Center Apart From the Rest?

There are plenty of places to visit for all to find their newer self, and Crystal Lake Nature Center stands out from the rest. Here are some of the reasons people visit and explore the Nature Center:

Exhibits: Who doesn’t like exhibits? Everyone loves that. But with the variety of options to choose from, you may wonder where, to begin with. Say bye to any pressure and trouble with the Nature Center.
Bees and Butterflies – Bring Back Some of Your Sweet Childhood Memories: One of the seasonal exhibits in the Nature Center is its Butterfly Habitat. After Memorial Day, the butterflies and bees get more active, and you can see thousands of them flying around and doing their work. What’s more, is that you can enjoy everything for free. Registration is not necessary. But Nature Center accepts any donations to improve its facility to meet everyone’s unique needs and requirements.
Paul Friend Fossil Collection – Travel Back in Time with Paul Friend’s Collection: The Nature Center also exhibits Paul Friend Fossil Collection. Some of the fossils include Arthropleura cristata, fossilized polychaete worms, tullimonstrum gregarium, fossilized crustaceans, numerous fossilized jellyfish, and a wide range of plant fossils. Most of Paul Friend’s fossils are considered Mazon Creek Fossils because they came from an area in northern Illinois. Mazon Creek Fossils are composed of preserved soft-bodied animals that existed 300 million years ago. Paul Friend Fossil Collection is perfect for those who want to learn new things.
Scouts Program: The Nature Center also offers comprehensive scout programs for interested boys and girls out there. Every program consists of a few hours of instruction handled by well-trained, certified, and experienced instructors. The fees also vary, making any scout program an ideal option for those who are on a budget.
It Accepts Volunteers: Restoring natural ecosystems is one of the top priorities of the Nature Center. But doing it alone is not possible, so the Nature Center accepts volunteers to alleviate global warming and protect nature to the fullest, effectively.
Climbing Tower: The Nature Center is also known for its Climbing Tower, which is suitable for everyone who wants an adrenaline-boosting and breathtaking adventure. Measuring 24 feet tall, the Climbing Tower is something you cannot afford to miss. Gears are provided. Plus, safety is guaranteed.

Gabriel, Joe, and Reed were an excellent team. They communicated well with each other and with me. They told me what, when, and how it was going to happen at every step of the process. Gabriel, Joe, and Reed are devoted to their work and their customer's well being. They took responsibility when appropriate and gave helpful advice when asked. Very impressive!

When my basement flooded, the first thing I did was call excel restoration. Gabriel came out within a couple of hours and handled the situation. He was very knowledgeable, informative and thorough. I was very impressed by his work. He kept me notified every step of the way, and was very professional. I will definitely use them if something were to happen again.

From the moment I spoke to Rich to the time Branden and Gabriel were in my home/condo they made me feel calm, safe, and most of all back in control of a devastating situation. I handed my keys over to Gabriel and didn't look back. Gabriel stayed in contact with me from start to finish so there was never guessing as to what was happening in my home. I'm grateful for this entire team, their professionalism, and care not only for my home but for me as well. I didn't think the work and team could get any better, my home was finished by Alex who not only did an excellent job and was on time but also spent time correcting a previous job that wasn't his responsibility. Upon completion he left my keys on my hook the same way I would! If anyone is hesitating calling Excel, don't!

A faulty faucet disrupted our Easter but Gabriel & Reid from Excel Restoration came to the rescue. Excellent work and respect for our property. I would definitely recommend them based on what they have done so far. Hopefully this continues to be the case as the work proceeds. So far so great though. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you Excel!!

We contacted Excel Fire And Water Damage after having water damage seep into our downstairs and garage from our 2nd floor laundry room. Gabriel and his team of workers were quick to come out to our home that same day to assess the damage. Every single worker that has been working on our home has been very friendly professional, and hard working. We are very appreciative at the constant communication and updates we have been receiving from Gabriel!
