  • Allerton Park and Conference Center
    GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS' DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO THE ALLERTON FAMILY AND ROBERT ALLERTON PARK AND CONFERENCE CENTER Compiled by Susan Enscore For the Robert Allerton Park and Conference Center University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign January 1991 Revised March 2004 Reformatted for Internet Posting, October, 2001 FOREWORD Since Robert Allerton gave his estate in Monticello to the University in 1946, the number and diversity of documents and related materials on this unique resource has grown steadily. By far the most ambitious and comprehensive attempt to identify and catalog major items is represented in this document which is the product of over a year's effort by Susan Enscore. Her work was carefully guided by Professors Maynard Brichford and William Maher, the University's archivist and assistant archivist. As interim co-directors, we commissioned this project to learn more about how much "Allertonia" exists and where it can be found. The size of this report confirms our suspicions that a wealth of useful material is available. A great deal of effort was involved in assembling this impressive reference document. It identifies the variety of documents that exist and their location, as well as serving as the basis for further expansion and update of the records of Robert Allerton Park and Conference Center. Researchers interested in examining the history associated with this gift will find this a valuable reference source. We appreciate all of Susan's work and the enthusiasm with which she approached the task. We thank Professors Brichford and Maher who added their experience to producing a well-organized and comprehensive document.

Benda. 2013. Guide to Spring Wildflower Hikes in Southern Illinois. Illinois Native Plant Society ­ Southern Chapter. 20 pgs. 2013 Cover photo: Yellow trout lily along the Rocky Bluff Trail, Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Back photo: Woodland phlox at base of bluffs along the Snake Road Trail, Shawnee National Forest Introduction Springtime offers nature lovers an opportunity to view beautiful displays of wildflowers in southern Illinois. These gems can literally carpet forest floors in color, bursting forth as the spring sun warms the soil. These species take advantage of that sunlight in early spring, before the tree leaves have emerged and cast the area into heavy shade. This trick of timing allows these diminutive plants that need a lot of sun to survive, reproduce and even thrive alongside the towering oaks, hickories and maples of our hardwood forests. Rich, undisturbed woods are the best sites for seeing large, breathtaking displays of wildflowers. Fortunately, many of these sites are now being protected by state or federal agencies and have been designated as state nature preserves or research natural areas. To help protect sensitive species and preserve the sites for the enjoyment of others, please remain on marked trails. Through a grant from the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund, the Southern Chapter of the Illinois Native Plant Society has produced this guide to spring wildflower hikes in southern Illinois.
