SaveNamed in honor of past Forest Preserve District President Arlene Shoemaker, this preserve provides a forested respite in the midst of urban Aurora. The Aurora Branch of the Illinois Prairie Path runs along the north border of the preserve, serving as a link between Kane and DuPage counties.
The forest preserve is one of the few bastions of the woodland community known as flatwoods. In this specialized woodland, clay soil creates an impermeable layer that holds rainwater in wet seasons, yet is dry the remainder of the year. Tree species such as Swamp White Oak and Shagbark Hickory thrive in these conditions. Herbaceous plants that can tolerate both very wet and very dry conditions grow here, also. This area is a haven for birds and other wildlife.
