Spring Wildflower Walk

White trillium, bluebells, and the rare and endangered red trillium blanket Mississippi Palisades State Park in late April. Experience the magic of these stunning plants along with many other wildflowers at their peak on a guided hike in the woods and along the Park’s riverside bluffs. The walk will be led by JDCF’s Director of Land Stewardship, Jim Johannsen, along with Ken Beach, president of Northwest Illinois Forestry Association. Expert birders will also be on the trail. This is a moderately difficult walk and includes steps. We will meet at the south entrance to the park, which is located 3 miles north of Savanna, IL, along Hwy 84 South. Free and RSVPs not needed.
