Updates on efforts in River Forest, Illinois, to certify our community as a National Wildlife Federation 'Community Wildlife Habitat.' We intend to document our own progress towards this goal, while also gathering inspiring and useful information on ecological gardening, habitat gardening, prairie restoration, and large-scale ecological mangement of habitat characteristic of northeastern Illinois, the Great Lakes, prairie-oak savanna, and tallgrass prairie that once covered the landscape.
