Native Seed Nursery Tour @ Lake County Forest Preserve Native Seed Nursery | Grayslake | Illinois | United States

Join us for a one-hour tour of the Lake County Forest Preserve Native Seed Nursery, located at Rollins Savanna Forest Preserve in Grayslake. The site includes a greenhouse, seed processing facility and nursery grounds, with a 5-acre mix of woodland, wetland and prairie plants located just outside the greenhouse. Rare and hard-to-collect seeds of different native species are grown there and used to restore native habitat throughout the forest preserves.

Optional 7 am bird walk before the tour plus breakfast nearby afterward.

Limit 25 people with priority to Lake/Cook members. Email renabird3@gmail.com to register.
