Sunset Tours

Experience the prairie as day switches to night. A great way to share the special features of Central Illinois and the land conservation efforts of The Friends of the Sangamon Valley. Easy walk on mowed paths in prairie; nature center base is air conditioned and has restrooms. The tour guide is Vernon LaGesse. Bonus possibilities … fireside camaraderie, side trip to Sheedy Shores Winery located west of the sanctuary. Tours will be second Sundays in June/July/August so you can see new flowers, colors and species as the season progresses.
