“I have a layout for a perennial pollinator garden in my yard. The problem is, I can’t seem to find the plants anywhere! Most places are either wholesale or sell seed only. Any idea where you can purchase general pollinator plants for a native garden here in Illinois?”

Housing developers have received Naperville City Council approval to build a new subdivision that neighbors and environmentalists fear will disrupt wildlife habitats in surrounding forest preserves.
City council members largely embraced the project to turn a 67-acre swath of the former Nokia property into a mix of single-family homes and townhouses at the northwest corner of Naperville and Warrenville roads. The property is open land except for a crumbling parking lot.
Bobcat spotted in Will County nature preserve

A big cat is causing some excitement in suburban Will County.
CHICAGO - A big cat is causing some excitement in suburban Will County.
A male bobcat was caught on a game camera at the Sand Ridge Savanna Nature Preserve earlier this month.
The Will County Forest Preserves say the bobcat might be the father of a group of kittens seen with their mother in September. The bobcat was caught on my game camera walking alone along a game trail, said Becky Blankenship, the Forest Preserve’s wildlife biologist. My camera caught three pictures. I can’t tell if this individual is one from the Kankakee Sands photos.
