Supporting your child through the school year with an extended opportunity for nature and STEM-based learning in our Audubon Comes to You, Conservation Classroom Single Day Field Trips and Conservation Classroom Year-Long Partnerships!
Indian Ridge Marsh is 154 acres of native marsh and wet prairie habitat in the Calumet region. The park is split into a north and a south section. Both sections have parking lots and walking trails. The trails provide fantastic views of the marsh ponds, ponds that provide important habitat for local wetland birds.
This site has more than 750 acres of open prairie in which rare grassland birds find needed habitat. The area was once farmland but is now being restored as a grassland complex with prairie, wetlands, open ponds, oak savannas, shrublands and woodlands.
At Orland Grassland volunteers and professional advisers focus on restoration, preservation, and partnership.
The preserve offers 5 miles of trails for hiking, 4 miles of trails for bicycling and cross-country skiing, and a 1-mile self-guided nature trail.
