New Years Day Hike at the Palisades
1/1/2017 -

Join us as we welcome in the New Year with breath taking views from the Palisades! Brunch at a member's home. Must register through Susan Murray at 618-581-2505. Described as one of the best remaining examples of undisturbed, biologically important lands in Illinois, the preserve’s oak and hickory forests look much as they did 100 years ago. The land is environmentally essential to the protection of eleven endangered or threatened species of plants and animals and is located in the largest flyway in North America for migrating birds. The unfragmented forest provides essential breeding habitat for a suite of songbirds. The preserve also contains an undisturbed limestone cliff community and Native American Burial Grounds. This 430-acre parcel of bluff top land is protected for environmental, scenic and educational purposes forever.
