Join us for this informative presentation on the Illinois Prairie with Flora Prairie Volunteer Steward Jack Shouba. Jack has visited and protected prairies for over 50 years! We will learn from Jack and see his beautiful photos of prairie plants & animals. <br/><br/>In this program, we explore just what is an Illinois prairie and look at how the relationships of people to the prairie changed over time. We will look at prairie plants and their adaptations, prairie animals, and the role of fire. We search for places that still contain scraps of prairie and consider why we must save these precious remnants.
In the latter half of the 20th century, pockets of people across the
country called for converting abandoned railways into recreation trails. Bicyclist Peter Harnik, A&S '70, helped make it happen.
