Cactus Blossom Walk at Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary
June 5, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am CDT
Free
Did you know that southern Illinois has a native cactus? It’s true! The prickly pear cactus (Opuntia cespitosa) is found in the sandy soils along the Mississippi River. Our newest preserve, Knoll Family Wildlife Sanctuary in Edwardsville, has a HUGE population of these plants. They tend to bloom in late May – July. We hope that peak cactus bloom time will be happening during this walk on June 5.
Space is limited due to parking, so please be sure to register below.
