NO bushwhacking is necessary here, this is a protected field
of
prairie plants, please pick up one of the brochures along the
trail
and enjoy!
Take a DETOUR off of the Prairie Path and visit The
Great Western Trail.
This short path runs parallel to the Prairie Path and is
considered the "oldest living thing" in Elmhurst! What is it?
Native Prairie plants which have almost become extinct. Once
they
flourished in the midwest; now only one-tenth of one percent
in
Illinois has these native plants growing. Pick up a brochure in
one
of the posts along the path to learn about the different
plants.
Don't forget to pick up the cache!
