In a prairie in Rockford, the rusty patched bumblebee lives, and will continue to live if people who want to preserve the insects have their way, stopping a Rockford Airport expansion project
Volo Bog State Natural Area, 28478 Brandenburg Road in Ingleside, is seeking volunteers to lead guided tours and other programs for school groups visiting on field trips.
They want the Chicago Rockford International Airport to redesign its $50 million expansion project, preserving high-quality foraging ground for the high-profile bumblebee.
