Between Mason City and Easton, Revis Spring Hill Prairie Nature Preserve is one of the finest original hill prairies in Illinois.

In February, a new community launched to protect and restore this vital biodiversity hotspot.

Looking for community and an opportunity to learn and do good for nature? Join in and tell your friends and family! Leaders and contributors of all kinds are needed -- no experience necessary.

Workdays are currently scheduled for 2nd Saturdays and 4th Sundays of each month, including THIS Sunday, August 23rd, from 8:30am to noon.

DM me, contact revis@friendsilnature.org, and/or join the planning group on WhatsApp to learn more. See you out there -- let's do it!

The Old Plank Road Prairie Nature Preserve is one of the last, and one of the highest quality, black soil prairie remnants left in Illinois. A small, collaborative group of volunteers leads restoration on the preserves, from invasive removal to prescribed fire. More people are needed to truly care for the site -- not just to protect the rare ecosystem that remains, but to improve it and expand it!

As a community, we learn and lead together. All are welcome to join in and learn what it takes to save this ancient ecosystem. Nature nerds, community organizers, social media gurus, people persons, tech heads, people who like to Get Stuff Done -- Old Plank Road Prairies need you!

A kickoff event is in the works for this fall. You can get in at the ground floor of building up this community!
