Reed-Turner Woodland is a remnant of a presettlement prairie grove which once occupied land along Indian and Killdeer Creeks from the current village of Long Grove to Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Cook County. All that remains today are small portions of floodplain and upland forest, and sparse remnants of savanna and prairie vegetation. The site contains an interesting wet meadow which is dominated by sedges, rushes and a few wetland forbs such as meadow rue, marsh aster, and curly dock. Over 174 species of birds have been observed in the preserve including resident populations of waterfowl and herons.
