Nature Programs

Learn about plants, animals and ecology of the Forest Preserves in one of many Nature Programs offered throughout the year. Go bird watching, follow tracks in the snow, make a model insect or listen to nature stories under the stars. As the seasons turn, professional naturalists help visitors understand the science and meaning of nature’s wondrous changes. Most programs are free.
