![]() That may explain why some of the local forest preserves have seen a tremendous decline in the Spring ephemeral wildflowers. The woods near my home had a lot of nice wildflowers 35 years ago, now they are hard to find there. White-tailed Deer are also part of the problem, as well as failure on the part of the owners, Forest Preserve District of Cook County, to protect things, as they don't maintain most of the the property that they own at all. Most preserves here are declining, unless they're one that has a volunteer work force maintaining them.
