Mission Statement

At Nachusa Grasslands, rare and endangered remnant prairie, woodlands, and wetlands are being reconnected through habitat restoration to create one of the largest and most biologically diverse grasslands in Illinois by protecting native grasses, wildflowers, birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles and mammals.

Description

The Friends of Nachusa Grasslands (Friends) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 by volunteers dedicated to providing for the long-term care and management of the project. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) owns and operates Nachusa Grasslands. Over the past thirty years, hundreds of concerned people have invested thousands of hours protecting and restoring remnant prairie at Nachusa Grasslands. Although many more years of effort lie ahead, Nachusa is already one of the most successful restorations in the world. We are now providing for its long-term survival.

If you love being part of something beautiful and lasting, volunteer here. It is just a one hour drive from Naperville Il. but you will feel transported to an awesomely wild landscape. Workdays are usually Thursday and Saturday mornings. Your work collecting seeds or taking out invasive weeds will be very appreciated. Also, you will learn so much from your steward of the land about the history of the area and how this amazing place is growing. Visit, https://www.nachusagrasslands.org/ to sign up.
