Heidecke Lake Land & Water Reserve Field Trip

Come see big prairies at Heidecke Lake Land & Water Reserve. Areas of sand and black soils occur. Not sure what oddities we will see, as the species list is limited. Long walks off-trail on level ground. The Kankakee Torrent left a shallow clay layer with either sand or black soil above it. Old clay pits occur in adjacent Goose Lake Prairie. This area has 2,000 acres of remnant prairie as well as old prairie restorations. Retire to Carson’s Tap House (823 Liberty St) in Morris for drinks, food and conversation.
