Re-emergence Marian R. Byrnes Park, previously known as Park No. 562 or Van Vlissingen Prairie, is located in the Jeffery Manor neighborhood. At approximately 135 acres, it is one of the largest natural areas in Chicago. The site includes marsh, wet prairie, prairie, savanna, and woodland and is a great place to observe wildlife including frogs, snakes, birds, and deer. The video provides a brief history of the park from Norman W. Long’s personal perspective as an artist and local resident of Jeffery Manor. Then Long and Zalek guide us in relaxation and sensation exercises to the sounds and sights provided by this diverse ecology.
