With a name like skunk cabbage, this is not the kind of spring wildflower most people look for but it is one of the most fascinating botanical wonders of our woods.

Join naturalists from the Forest Preserve District of Kane County for a "Skunk Cabbage" nature program at Big Rock Forest Preserve, 46W072 Jericho Road in Big Rock. This free, family program will be 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 26.

On this naturalist-guided search, attendees will find skunk cabbage in bloom and learn about its unique traits. Skunk cabbage grows in wet woods, so wear shoes or boots that can get muddy. All ages are welcome to this free program. Advance registration is required. Call (630) 444-3190 or email programs@kaneforest.com to register.
