We had tentatively scheduled a Guided Nature Walk this weekend, but with the rains expected to continue, I think it's best to postpone until later this month. In the meantime here is a photo of Cream Gentian (Gentiana alba). A rare, beautiful, tubular flower found in our prairies!

The tree planting kickoff workday was a huge success! Volunteers joined Kendall County Forest Preserve staff to plant several dozen native oak, hickory, hazelnut, elderberry, and buckeye trees at Harris Forest Preserve.

While the trees are small now, they will one day provide habitat and food for hundreds of birds, mammals, and insects.

The Kendall County Forest Preserve District is kicking off their volunteer workday program with a tree planting this Saturday, April 25th, from 9:00–11:30 AM at Harris Forest Preserve in Yorkville. This is a great chance to get outside, give back, and help restore native habitat in your community.

No experience is needed to join them. Please bring a pair of gloves and a willingness to dig in! Tools will be provided.

Come out, meet others, and explore the preserve afterward to enjoy the spring wildflowers.
