Hill Prairie Preservation

A prairie in Monroe County, Illinois, is about to be lost forever.

Less than 1% of Illinois' prairies are left in our beautiful prairie state - and only 600 acres of hill prairies (i.e., prairies on bluffs like this one) remain. In the meantime, our pollinator populations are crashing and extreme weather is causing additional stress on wildlife and humans. Losing even one more acre of prairie is devastating.
