The 38-acre preserve was acquired by the Forest Preserve District of Will County between 1998-2012
Prior to acquisition, it was a cemetery for early settlers of Wheatland Township. The cemetery has been preserved, along with the prairie that surrounds it. There is a one-acre high quality prairie section of the site, which has been dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve.
Meet between 9:30-9:45 am at the circular parking lot off Normantown Rd. south of Wolfs Crossing Road, in Naperville. We will walk to the preserve with Jack as a group.
*Note* parking is limited, please carpool.
