Chicago Wilderness is some of the finest and most signifi - cant nature in the temperate world, with roughly 200,000 acres of protected natural lands harboring native plant and animal communities that are more rare—and their survival more globally threatened—than the tropical rain forests. CHICAGO WILDERNESS is an unprecedented alliance of more than 60 public and private organizations working together to study and restore, protect and manage the precious natural resources of the Chicago region for the benefit of the public. Chicago WILDERNES S is a new quarterly magazine that seeks to articulate a vision of regional identity linked to nature and our natural heritage, to celebrate and promote the rich nat - ural areas of this region, and to inform readers about the work of the many organizations engaged in collaborative conservation.

  • Private Land Conservation
    G’morning all, A year has passed, and as 2016 dawns, all are comforted by two universal truths. Only ten and a bit more months of political ads, emails & debates until the elections are finally over, and only six more months until Illinois’ political leaders will finish not agreeing to a 2016 budget and move on to not agreeing to a 2017 budget. Truly, it is a season of joy. In the midst of this revelry, it’s time to set our sights firmly on the future by once more gaping slack-jawed at the past. It’s 2015 in Review! • Private Land Conservation • Public Land Conservation • Natural Areas Restoration and Management • Top 3 Most Awesome Projects • Even More Awesome People • 2014 Revisited • Changes at the Top • Did you Know? Private Land Conservation 2015 was another busy year for Illinois’ nonprofit land trusts. With 988 acres protected over the last twelve months, the total area preserved declined significantly from last year’s record breaking high. However, both the quality and quantity of projects has maintained a steady and impressive pace. The year’s successes were spearheaded by Grand Prairie Friends and The Nature Conservancy. Grand Prairie Friends acquired nearly 300 acres in east central Illinois, adding to an existing macrosite that they began assembling only in 2011 and that is coming close to connecting two existing large publicly owned preserves. The Foundation is thus creating a major ecological preserve by serving as both linchpin and organizing force. The Nature Conservancy expanded sites across northern Illinois, growing the Kankakee Sands macrosite by 110 acres and, most impressively, expanding key areas of Nachusa Grasslands by almost 230 acres.
