This is a fairly simple, family friendly hide in the Heller Nature Center. You will pass a real working bee hive on the way to the cache. You do not need to actually approach the bee hive or do any heavy bushwacking. Geosense will lead you to the correct place. The grounds are open 24/7, although the Interpretive Center is closed on Sundays.
"Welcome to Heller Nature Center, where oak-hickory forests, tall grass prairie, oak savanna and natural wetlands are an oasis for native plants and animals. Heller Nature Center, a 97-acre preserve of the Park District of Highland Park, has been under public stewardship since 1977. Heller’s careful resource management, including restoration and controlled burns, provides a taste of an authentic native landscape. Visitors to Heller can also enjoy a picnic in our woodlands, visit our Design in Nature exhibit in the Goodman Log Cabin, or rent cross-country skis and explore our three miles of trails. At Heller, every season is suitable to enjoy the outdoors. Three miles of marked trails (view our trail map) offer close contact with nature and a little bit of solitude amidst the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s northern suburbs. Be sure to stop by the Interpretive Center (pictured below) during business hours to check out our Nature Exhibit! Through interactive displays, you will learn about the three main biological communities found at Heller Nature Center (Oak-Hickory Woodlands, Northern Flatwoods and Prairie). Featured in the exhibit is a bird watching station where visitors are able to observe, identify and even draw the birds they see, and a 450-gallon aquarium that showcases native fish and aquatic plants. View the photo tour to see everything the Interpretive Center has to offer." Nifty Commemorative Travel Bug for the FTF.
