Middle Fork Forest PreserveClick here to visit the Forest Preserve Website
We learned that bison once lived in Illinois.
We found lots of clues that told about the types of animals that live in the forest preserve, like these deer tracks.
What do you suppose has been chewing on this tree?
We found a hornet nest at the edge of the forest!
We found a puffball on this dead tree branch!
Do you know what lives inside a gall? We do!
We walked through the forest preserves' prairie.
We found a toad, a snake, and a frog.
The guides at the forest preserve taught us all about the prairie plants and animals that make their homes in the Middlefork Preserve.
Check out these prairie plants. Can you name them? We can! They're Sumac.
Who lives up there? A wood duck!
It was a great day, and we learned a lot too!
