Limestone Grassland tour
Public Welcome Family Friendly Free Event Nature Walk/Hike Lots of Physical Activity
The Limestone Grassland is a roughly 200 acre area that is part of the the state-designated AuTrain Wildlife Management Area and Refuge. It is a fairly unique grassland for this area, containing many interesting plants and animals. Bring your binoculars, because summer birds here include Sandhill Crane, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Dickcissel, and Bobolink.
The area is easily accessible at the end of Storm Rd., just south of the Limestone General Store off of Hwy 67. There is a two-track road around the circumference of the grassland that we will take; it can be driven by any crossover type vehicle or anything with a little clearance. AWD/4WD is not needed. We can arrange vehicles or carpool as needed. This will be an easy outing with only a little walking on the two-track.
