During this all-day workshop, we will observe a managed and unmanaged woodland site at the Morton Arboretum, compare their respective vegetative compositions, and discuss potential management approaches for their respective future enhancement. We will also visit a high-quality remnant prairie in the Illinois Beach State Park’s Nature Preserve to study the intricate relationships between flora, fauna, the physical environment, and human activity in a remnant prairie system. Tours and discussions will be led by Larry Weaner, FAPLD, Gerould Wilhelm, PhD, and The Morton Arboretum Staff.
