12-acre State-of-Illinois designated nature preserve
A remnant example of the Illinois Grand Prairie natural division, this tall-grass prairie habitat hosts a broad diversity of native plant species. Abandoned railroad right-of-ways constitute much what remains of the vast millions of acres of Illinois prairie grasslands. Transferred to the stewardship of the IDNR and sheltered by Prairie Lands Foundation, educational opportunity and stewardship activities are the focus of public access.
