Overview
Under a canopy of native oaks, eastern bluebirds nest in hollow trees and rare butterflies hover over patches of lake sedge—all hopeful signs in this fragile ecosystem, a treasured piece of a larger oak woodland that flourished in the Midwest over a century ago.
Trails here connect to two regional trail systems: the North Branch Trail System and the Green Bay Trail. Visitors to this Forest Preserve can also stop at the adjacent Chicago Botanic Garden.
