SUMMARY:Linne Prairie
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nEVENT CANCELLED\nLinne Prairie is a different site from the rest of the North Branch preserves. The area was used as temporary storage for a huge pile of limestone excavated for the deep tunnel project. After most of the limestone was removed\, the contractor covered the remaining material with a layer of soil and planted purchased seeds of native plants. After the initial two years of management by outside contract\, the District and North Branch now share management\, with the eventual goal of a facsimile hill prairie. While this is not a bona fide recovering natural area\, it can still become a functioning system that is compatible with the surrounding native communities and that provides important habitat for wildlife. \nDirections: Meet at Wayside Woods Prairie Forest Preserve parking lot on the west side of Lehigh Ave\, a few blocks east of Waukegan Road and just north of Dempster. \nPlease RSVP (below). For more information contact: \nJohn Thill at   (847) 966-0231 at Linne Prairie[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Harms Woods
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This fine oak woodland lies on the west side of the North Branch of the Chicago River in the village of Glenview. Several different species of oak are represented here; red oaks are more prevalent closer to the river while white and bur oaks are more plentiful as you move west up the moraine. In the wetter upland areas\, on top of the moraine\, swamp white oaks thrive. \nHarms is notable for its rich native flora. In late March or April\, visitors can enjoy the earliest of our spring wildflowers\, including such lovelies as toothwort\, hepatica\, bloodroot and trout lily.A little later\, they may be treated to displays of wildflowers with lyrical names like yellow pimpernel\, Jack-in-the-pulpit\, spring beauty and golden alexanders.The site is unusually rich in native woodland shrubs. Native yellow and red honeysuckles bloom in summer; maple-leaved viburnum turns a gorgeous magenta in the fall; while a bit later the delicate yellow flowers of witch hazel grace the fall woods. \nFor bird watchers\, Harms Woods is a great place to enjoy the spring and fall migratory seasons\, as a great variety of warblers pass through. Visitors should also watch for the great horned owls\, hairy woodpeckers\, red-eyed vireos and yellow-billed cuckoos that are among the nesting birds of Harms. \nDirections: Meet at the forest preserve Glenview Woods parking lot on the west side of Harms Road\, just south of Glenview Road. \nRSVP below. For more information or to volunteer contact:\nJane and John Balaban  (847)  644-8184[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
