Event details
Explore the magic of Messenger Woods as we celebrate National Take a Hike Day in one of our own forest preserves. We will explore the community of trees in Will County’s oldest preserve and learn how the trees support each other. In fact, this community welcomes and strengthens us as well. Learn about the health benefits of spending time in nature and experience it for yourself.
