Description

Dixon Prairie | Chicago Botanic Garden

In the early 1800s, the wind-swept prairies that covered Illinois would eventually give the state its nickname and identity as “the prairie state,” a place bright with wildflowers and tallgrass. Nowadays, though, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of original prairie remains in the state.
