From the Macon County Conservation District's website - a brief description of the Pine Tree Forest at the Rock Springs Nature Center:
"This five acre pine plantation contains red and white pines. The trees were planted in the early 1960s as part of a land program. 5,000 white pine and 5,000 red pine were planted.
Few plants grow under the pines due to the deep shade year round. The only evergreen tree native to Central Illinois is the eastern red cedar, which was used by some settlers as Christmas decorations."
