Fischer Woods

Fischer Woods currently stands as an undeveloped, natural area, and contains one of the few wet forest pockets in the county. As a result, the preserve hosts mature basswood and red oak trees, which differ from species found in most other preserves. The area aids in storm-water control by acting as a natural drainage basin during heavy rains, and is home to ephemeral ponds with a variety of amphibians, a cattail marsh, and open prairie. 

Education

The Bensenville Park District offers programs and events at the Fischer Farm homestead, one of the oldest remaining in the county. Many of the programs highlight the historic setting and pristine landscape. Parking is available in front of the farm house. For more information, see www.bensenvilleparkdistrict.org or call (630) 766-7015.
