Muirhead Springs Forest Preserve spans 757 acres of restored prairie and wetland. Once farmland, this area has been transformed into a haven for birdwatchers, with a significant rise in species diversity thanks to ongoing ecological restoration. There is a lovely hiking trail, perfect for spending the afternoon watching for black-necked stilts, and you may even spot a few American white pelicans.
