About this event

Description

You won't need to sail off through night and day or in and out of weeks. Will County is where the wildflowers are! Jack-in-the-pulpit, Virginia waterleaf and Solomon's seal - our wildflowers have stories to tell! Journey to McKinley Woods - Fredrick's Grove, a top spot to seek wildflowers. Join a naturalist for a hike to find wildflowers and hear stories of how these beauties got their names, their uses through time and other lore and legends.


These ephemeral blooms are beautiful but fleeting. Join us each month for more chapters in the everchanging tale of wildflowers as old ones fade and new ones bloom. Look for other preserves in this series or choose your own adventure. We invite you to visit the same preserve each month to see the changes unfold over time or mix it up and enjoy a different preserve for the full story of Will County wildflowers.
The hike will be up to 1.5 miles long on uneven natural surface trails.

If you have any questions, please call us at 815-722-9470.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.

Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult.
