Hi all,
I just learned about this yesterday. I just wanted to share and spread the word. Maybe someone can help? This is within 5 miles from me and I’m pretty mad that bad news regarding this prairie is the first time I’ve even heard of it. I’ve lived in Wayne county my whole life and drove right on by it countless times thinking that maybe some flowers and foraging finds could be in this area, but I don’t even know exactly where it’s at so I could be totally wrong!

here’s where it is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/is4tUL5T6yRxSAjD6
it’s a worthy endeavor.
one of the big issues is the cost per acre. DNR prioritizes larger, lower cost per acre tracks of land, so has stayed away. There’s nothing like this anywhere nearby, but it’s also of way more interest to people because it’s way closer to people (statistically) than a lot of land being preserved.
Thank you for posting. I just donated!!! From your native neighbor in Illinois!
I donated a couple months ago when I first heard about, glad to see more people spreading the word! I’ll try to remember to post about it here and there too 👍
