A recent article of mine, "Protecting Hopewell Hill Prairies," which originally appeared in Illinois Audubon magazine (Fall 2013 Issue, pages 22-23), has been re-printed in the in-house newsletter, @ORC, through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Resource Conservation.
The re-print is now available here: Download @ORC Issue #8 - Lerczak Hopewell Hill Prairies.
Recently, Hopewell Hill Prairies Nature Preserve has been added to the Illinois Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary system. An article describing the site (with directions) along with the nearby Fern Ridge Nature Preserve has been published in the Summer 2019 issue of Illinois Audubon magazine, which is available as a pdf download here: Download IAS Hopewell Article Summer 2019 Issue.
