A Nature Walk with The Wild Ones at Ryerson Woods
Online/Virtual
Ryerson Conservation Area, better known as Ryerson Woods, has one of the best examples of a northern flatwoods habitat, a rare northern Illinois landscape. Flatwoods were created by sea level changes during the glacial period. Spanning more than 550 acres, Ryerson Woods supports some of Illinois' most pristine woodlands and several state threatened and endangered species.
Rare plant and animal species and high quality natural areas make this a very special preserve. Approximately two-thirds of the property is so ecologically valuable that it is dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve and benefits from special protection rules. ?More than 150 bird species and nearly 600 species of flowering plants have been recorded at Ryerson Woods.
Spring brings special wildflower magic, please join The Lake-to-Prairie Wild Ones?for a beautiful morning walk with our LCFP?guide Randy McCool. We will?meet up at the Ryerson Conservation Area Welcome Center. Don't forget to bring?your camera!
