Explore the beauty of spring wildflowers on a series of guided hikes at natural areas around LaSalle County. Spring ephemeral wildflowers can only be viewed for a brief period of time, between the ground thawing and the forest canopy leafing out. Our Master Naturalist volunteers will guide you through each natural area to search for these rare springtime blooms. Participants of all ages are welcome!
