Guest Lecture and Book Signing Saving Peacock Prairie: The Grassroots Campaign to Protect a Wild Urban Prairie April 14, 2012

Bernice Popelka shares the story of Chicago’s last remaining undisturbed black soil tall grass prairie. A small band of people in the 1960s bravely struggled for three years to save it. They experienced many setbacks, but with the help of Openlands it was saved in 1968. Thus began the public’s growing recognition of the value of prairies.
