Zach Grycan and Kyle Hulbert of the Natural Land Institute will be our guides on this 4-acre dry hill prairie in Ogle County. We will see one of the best displays of flora in remnant prairies in northern Illinois, including prairie dropseed, leadplant, and shooting stars. NLI has owned this area since 1972. From the intersection of IL Rt 251 and Big Mound Road, drive west 2 3/4 miles. The prairie is on the north side of the road-just 1/4 mile east of White Rock Road at 11220 E Big Mound Rd., Davis Junction. Easy hiking.
