Hickory Grove Forest Preserve

Hickory Grove is a variable oak woodland with a small ephemeral stream that hosts a rich diversity of native plant and animals, including Cooper’s hawks, great horned owls, red-headed woodpeckers, tufted titmice, wood thrushes, and tiger swallowtail butterflies. Formerly part of the Seven Bridge Golf Club, this diverse and variable oak woodland hosts a small ephemeral stream and is rich in the number of plant species that thrive here.
