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!

Proud to Support:
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!
