Chicago 200 Zoological Gardens plan outlined in Forest Preserve talk
A detailed proposal outlines creating a 200 acre Chicago Zoological Gardens within Cook county forest preserves. It describes governance by a Chicago Zoological Gardens committee, funding needs, and the aim to attract national and international zoological support, with engagement from McCormick and Reinberg era leaders. The plan cites New York and St Louis precedents, routes to Riverside, and the benefit to public parks and education.
