Where the Wildflowers Are: Raccoon Grove
Plum Creek Nature Center • 27064 S. Dutton Road Beecher, IL 60401 Organized by Forest Preserve District of Will CountyAbout 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! Bluebells, mayapples, phlox and Solomon’s seal – our wildflowers have stories to tell! Journey to Racoon 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 ever-changing tale of wildflowers as old ones fade and new ones bloom. Look for other preserves in this series and choose your own adventure. Visit the same preserve each month to see the changes unfold over time or mix it up and enjoy a different one each time for the full story of Will County wildflowers.
The trail is approximately 0.75 mile in length on natural surfaces with some hills and exposed roots. Spring rains can make the trail muddy; please dress with that in mind. Racoon Grove does not have bathroom faculties. Please plan accordingly.
Ages 10 or older.
