Art and Nature Workshops at the
Forest Preserve are for children who love the outdoors and want to spend
"hands-on" time learning from nature. When weather permits, the workshops
include outdoor activities such as track identification, shelter building,
friction fire and the natural history of native plants and animals. Indoor
activities in the roomy Nature Center building include drawing and crafting from
nature, natural history, astronomy and earth science.
This 46 acre preserve is located at
3301 Waldron Road in Aroma Park, along the Kankakee River. The Center provides
space for programs about natural history, ecology, and preservation of open
space in the Kankakee River Valley. The walking trail area features plantings of
many native trees and plants, including an acre of native tallgrass prairie, a ¾
mile asphalt and fine gravel walking trail, a picnic shelter, and picnic tables.
