Heller Nature Center 2821 Ridge Road 847.433.6901 HellerNatureCenter.org 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 of the Park District of Highland Park. 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 suitable to enjoy the outdoors. Hours of Operation Mon-Fri 8:30am-5pm Sat 9am-3pm The grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk.

The Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights is a list of ten activities that every child should have the right to do, and we want to make it possible for every kid to experience these activities. Almost every Heller program fulfills one or more of the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights; join us outside!
