Yonder Prairie, an Illinois Nature Preserve, is a 71 acre wet prairie, sedge meadow, and oak savanna complex. Acquired in 2009, volunteers have cleared the majority of the mature invasive shrubs and trees, rejuvenating the bare, shaded ground-layer and turning it into a lush, diverse ecosystem. There are still areas of the preserve that need some help, so come on out and lend a hand! We will be working in the northwest corner of the property and down the lane.
Directions: From the intersection of Kishwaukee Valley Road at Rose Farm Road just west of Woodstock, head south on Rose Farm for 0.3 miles. Park in the gravel parking lot. Nearest Address: 1150 S Rosefarm Rd, Woodstock, Il
