SUMMARY:Trailblazers: Schiller Woods Spring Exploration Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk to welcome spring\, get some fresh air outdoors and look for new signs of life in nature. We’ll likely see some deer grazing. The trees will be budding out and the group can spot a few of spring’s first wildflowers popping up. The walk will traverse the trail along the Des Plaines River and through the woods. \n\n\n\nDifficulty Level: The walk will be primarily on unpaved surfaces and proceed at a moderate pace. Stepping over obstacles might be necessary. Some areas may be muddy. \n\n\n\nParking/Meeting Location: After entering the preserve from Irving Park Road veer left at the fork in the road. Then park at Grove #2. We’ll gather near the picnic shelter. \n\n\n\nMeet your Volunteer Guide: Diane has a lifelong interest in nature and volunteers with the Forest Preserves of Cook County (since 2019). Her particular area of focus is on native plants. As a certified seed collector she also collects and sows native seeds in conjunction with the North Branch Restoration Project. An avid hiker\, she has formed and led fitness/walking groups for 10+ years. \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring/Wear: Water for hydration\, good sun protection and good hiking boots are strongly recommended. Insect repellent is needed to protect against various insects. Bring binoculars and cameras if you want them as well. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but please register to secure your spot. If for some reason you can’t make it\, please cancel your ticket. If you have any questions about this walk or the Trailblazers Walking Series\, contact Sydney Armstead\, Engagement Program Manager\, at sydney@fotfp.org
