Getting There: Wildlife found at the preserve includes a variety of bird species, such as the great blue heron and great egret. Structures have been built on islands within the lake to provide nesting opportunities for the birds. Hundreds of people visit the Heron Rookery Nature Preserve each year to be dazzled by nesting herons, egrets and cormorants. Access to Heron Rookery Nature Preserve is limited on a seasonal basis to protect the nesting activities of migratory birds. We will be meeting in front of the Visitor Center: 23202 W. Renwick Rd., Plainfield https://maps.app.goo.gl/fmHnPKLRanqyqbEf8 There is a free parking located in front of the visitor center. For those without access to car transport we will have a 12 passenger van available for you to reserve a seat.
Accessibility & Terrain: The terrain is a crushed limestone trail 1.45 miles long. Restrooms available near the visitor center. Saturday is open to the public and expected to busy so noise level from people and children will likely be moderate.
