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.
