Berkeley Prairie Forest Preserve
Small restored prairie and oak-savanna pocket in Highland Park offering grasses, seasonal wildflowers, migrating and resident songbirds, and open skies — ideal for intimate landscape and wildlife shots. Best visited at golden hour (sunrise/sunset) for warm light and long shadows; spring–early summer for blooms and migration, fall for warm grasses. Trails are unpaved and mostly flat; free entry, limited roadside parking nearby. Expect quiet conservation area etiquette (stay on trails, no drones).
