Oak woodlands define the unique natural landscape of Lake County. 

Discover the important role oaks play in our woodlands and what we're doing to ensure the continued survival of oaks and the animals that rely on them. Join us for expert-led walks about the Woodland Habitat Restoration project, the unique Flatwood Ponds (and the animals who live there) found at Ryerson and how we are reaching into the community and partnering with homeowners to spread our conservation efforts.

Guided fall walks, a touch table, crafts and kid-friendly nature activities will introduce the whole family to oak trees and the animals that depend upon them.

FREE. No registration required.

Adult supervision required.
