Event Details
More than 20 pioneer prairie cemeteries have been turned into Nature Preserves. Although they are all small, they still hold great value. Larger preserves could support more species and be more stable over time, but small prairies are still important especially because so few remain. In this visual presentation, we’ll explore several pioneer cemeteries, looking at their importance, the challenges they face, and how volunteers can help protect them. Jack Shouba, an educator, botanist, and nature photographer, will guide us.
This program is held in partnership with the Greater Dupage Wild Ones Chapter.
