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.
Visit a regional Important Bird Area haven for Henslow's Sparrows, a crucial migratory stopover habitat and a former Brownfield turned secretive marsh bird oasis.

Whenever we have a bird question stumping us around the office, we just ask Kenn. And now you can, too!
