Amboy Marsh Nature Preserve

"We loved this place, and indeed did see many rare plants. The sand prairies in particular provided a fascinating display. Very grateful it has been protected. The birds clearly love it, and did not disappoint. That said, the sheer volume of invasive plant species here was dismaying to see. We pulled out gallons of garlic mustard and others while walking along the trails. I do hope there can be a better management program put in place before it's too late. (We would volunteer to help if we were anywhere near the area.)"

"Peaceful area, ideal for a nature hike with plenty of birds for good bird watching. I plan to visit often. Thank you, Illinois Audubon society, for this wonderful gem."

"Fabulous! Go for a hike in all seasons, because you'll see something new each time. Some of the native plants are so infrequently seen that it might require extra research to identify them. Be sure to take a camera, to help you take it all in."

"Nice little place. Pleasant walk through out whole marsh area. Trails are nicely marked."

"Great place to take pictures of birds, dragonflies, and nature too!!"
