Presented by Illinois Grand Prairie Master Naturalists
Saturdays need time for exploration.
In a 24/7 society, even weekends are filled with scheduled activities. Find time to unwind at Nature Trails Day.
Join the Illinois Grand Prairie Master Naturalists on guided hikes, youth activities, and family-friendly education.
- 10 AM - Children's activities (end at NOON)
- 10:15 AM - Geocaching
- 10:30 AM - Guided Hikes
- 12 PM - Live animal encounters with Wildlife Prairie Park
Nature activities, and fun for all ages, will be hosted by Master Naturalists and community partners throughout the day. Pollinator enthusiasts can learn about bees and beekeeping; crafty hands can build a bird feeder or make a tree cookie necklace; and homeowners or landowners can learn about supporting native pollinators. Young children, grownups, and everyone in between, will find a little piece of wonder at a day devoted to nature and outdoor play.
To prepare for the event, wear comfortable shoes, a sunhat, and light-colored clothing. Bring along sunscreen, water, and bug protection. There will be water stations onsite for refilling water bottles. No food vendors will attend the event; bring a picnic lunch to stay energized for a full day of fun!
