Sedge Meadow Forest Preserve/Wadsworth Wetlands - Wadsworth (NOTE EARLY START TIME) @ Sedge Meadow Forest Preserve | Wadsworth | Illinois | United States

With woodland, savanna and wetland habitats that include the Des Plaines River, Sedge Meadow is a great place to look for warblers, flycatchers, vireos and other early fall arrivals as well as resident species. The trail is an easy loop that takes about 2-1/2 hours to complete, with the multiple habitats frequently yielding a rich diversity of species.

Directions: The preserve is located on Wadsworth Rd., just east of US 41. Meet at the Sedge Meadow entrance, which is the first parking lot east of US 41 (NOT the canoe launch lot).

Leader: Stephen Hurst (224) 804-4030
