Experience The Grove!
A National Historic Landmark and Illinois Nature Preserve
Dear Friend of The Grove,
  
Spring is finally here and The Grove is alive with activity. Wildflowers are blooming, birds and frogs are singing and the whole landscape is waking up from a long, hard winter. What a great time to come out for a visit to explore the fascinating creatures in our ponds or discover the wonders of snakes and their importance in our ecosystem. How about celebrating Earth Day with us at the Air Station Prairie with a trail walk and some great family crafts and activities? We've also hit a very important milestone this spring-- Please join us in thanking the Grove Heritage Association for their 40 years of dedicated service and stewardship to The Grove!
