797 Sheridan Road Lake Forest

NEW! The 61-acre Jean and John Greene Ravine is a Lake Forest Open Lands property that contains rare ravine, bluff and lakeshore natural communities. It is home to seven state endangered and threatened native plant species and provides important resting habitat for migratory birds along the Lake Michigan flyway, including resident Red-headed Woodpeckers.
NOTE: In addition to land birding, we will be taking the stairs to the beach to check for waterfowl. Those with mobility issues can continue to bird along 1.7-acre trail.
Registration is required and limited to 15 cars due to limited parking. Please register here to confirm your spot.
Directions: The Greene Nature Preserve is located at 797 Sheridan Road, Lake Forest, directly north of the Fort Sheridan Preserve cemetery entrance and US Army Reserve base. Look for the stone pillars. NOTE: the entrance is gated but the leaders will meet to let you in.
Leaders: Maureen Marsh (352) 317-5130 and Wanda Supanich (224) 433-1675
