Creating and keeping a new Prairie takes work in an urban setting. Lurie Garden in Chicago needs constant weeding out of non-native species in order show off the native prairie varieties. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergThis incredible tribute to Illinois’ Prairies is all man-made lands. Less than ten percent of Illinois’ native, undisturbed, prairies remain. Illinoi’ nickname remains “Prairie State“. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergIt takes many caring persons to educate others on the beauty and importance of our native lands. Restored, new Prairies in the heart of very large city, are one way to do this. Thank you! Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
