Tuesday 6/4/19 An Introduction to the Tallgrass Prairie
Illinois is named the prairie state, yet only one-tenth of one percent of prairies remain. Most have been lost to urban development, timber production or agriculture. Our tallgrass prairie is one of the most vulnerable places on Earth. Author, land steward, and Tuesdays in the Tallgrass prairie blogger, Cindy Crosby will share with us a brief history of the tallgrass prairie, and how different people have viewed it in diverse ways over time. Enjoy stories of how prairie plants have been used in the arts, in medicine, as groceries, and as love charms! Then discover ways you can engage more deeply with “our landscape of home.”
