Live Naturally
Oak-hickory forests, tall grass prairie, oak savanna and natural
wetlands are an oasis for native plants and animals at this
97-acre preserve. Heller has been under public stewardship
since 1977 where careful resource management, including
restoration and controlled burns, provides a taste of an
authentic native landscape. Visitors can enjoy a picnic in our
woodlands, visit our nature exhibit, participate in a program,
play in Wander Woods and explore our three miles of trails. At
Heller, every season is the perfect season to enjoy the great
outdoors!
