Elgin's Natural Treasures: Trout Park and Bluff Spring Fen

Within the borders of the city of Elgin are two Illinois Nature Preserves that are quite unique and as such are home to distinctive species of plants. Trout Park and Bluff Spring are known as fens, geological remnants of the last ice ages.

Through the fall we will be displaying photographs of these treasures.
