In partnership with the Chicago Park District, join us for back to back guided walks through the preserve in search of owls! Both hikes are all ages, family friendly hikes and offered as part of the Winer Solstice Festival this evening.

Beginning birders welcome! Total trip distance is approximately 1 mile walking. Trails are combination of crushed gravel and mulch. Please dress aggressively for the weather with multiple layers as temperatures can drop rapidly after sunset and owling is frigid business. Flashlights permitted but not required.
