Trailblazers – River Trail Nature Center Walk
After enjoying the nature center’s inhabitants, we’ll move outside to explore the trails of this wooded preserve along the Des Plaines River.
Difficulty level: The walk will be at a moderate pace on both paved and unpaved trails. The difficulty level will be relatively easy, as most paths are clear of large obstacles.
Parking/Meeting location: Park in the parking lot. We’ll meet inside the front entrance of the nature center.
Meet your volunteer guide: Diane has a lifelong interest in nature and has been a volunteer with the Forest Preserves of Cook County since 2019. Her particular area of focus is on native plants and the collection and sowing of native plant seeds in conjunction with the North Branch Restoration Project. As an avid hiker, she has formed and led fitness hiking groups for 10+ years.
What to bring/wear: Water, weather appropriate clothing and sturdy boots are all recommended.
This event is free, but please register to secure your spot. If you have any questions about this walk or the Trailblazers Walking Series, contact Sydney Armstead, Engagement Program Manager, at sydney@fotfp.org.
