The Ned Brown Meadow is part of the Busse Woods Forest Preserve. Our walk does not follow paved paths, so wear appropraite footwear. If you are using a GPS to access the location, please enter Ned Brown Meadow, which takes you to the Golf Road entrance. Entering Busse Woods will take you quite a distance away from the event.
We look forward to seeing you and your canine companions!!
