Event details
Include Plum Creek Nature Center in your spring break staycation plans! Visit each day from Tuesday to Friday to join in a new adventure. Pack a picnic lunch and extend your day. Our forest preserves have forest, prairie and wetland habitats. On Tuesday, join a naturalist to explore and discover what makes each special. Through activities and observations, we’ll discover who lives in each ecosystem, compare different habitats and learn the connections that keep the whole habitat in balance. Use observation and critical-thinking skills to investigate patterns of tracks, feeding scenes and other signs made by often-unseen creatures.
