Several Ogle County Master Naturalists volunteer at Nachusa Grasslands. One volunteer puts in hundreds of hours a year stewarding a 140-acre area, acting as docent at the visitor’s center, leading bison tours, and helping with controlled burns. Many others help with the annual “Autumn on the Prairie” event. Nachusa Grasslands has more than 4,000 acres of prairies, savannas, wetlands, streams, and working lands in Lee and Ogle counties in north-central Illinois.
The hallmarks of the preserve are its high-quality remnant communities, re-created prairies of exceptional diversity, a community of volunteers engaged in all aspects of the project, and commitment to excellence and innovation in the science and practice of natural areas management.
