The Bob Horlock Prairie is a prairie that was recreated from an old farm field adjacent to a high-quality prairie remnant by the local high school prairie restoration club from 1973 to 1983 – under the tutelage of Mr. Robert Horlock. Students propagated and planted seedings from seeds collected locally. Approximately 130 species of prairie plants including both mesic and wet-mesic plant communities have been established here. Horlock family members will join us for this walk.
LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve includes a high-quality prairie, woodland, and Ferson Creek, which meanders through the preserve. Contained within the preserve is a true prairie remnant (the Murray prairie), various restorations (including the Bob Horlock Prairie), flood plain forests, seeps, oak woodlands, and grassy fields.
