Incredible group of volunteers working to restore native prairie to Illinois. They also fund science and research that relates to prairies and the wildlife that the prairies support.

I have been a member of the Friends of Nachusa Grasslands since its inception in 2008. We are a small, grassroots organization comprised of enthusiastic, dedicated volunteers and supporters of our mission. Our operating expenses are quite low, so almost all of our donations go to the Nachusa Grasslands Stewardship Endowment to provide for the long-term care and management of the project.

The Friends of Nachusa Grasslands also supports and conducts stewardship at the preserve. Collecting seeds, clearing brush, and even weeding are rewarding activities when we see an abundance of prairie species flourishing under our care. Bringing bison back to Nachusa is also an exciting prospect.

I have chosen to be a donor to this organization because I have watched carefully as it has developed as a responsibly organized and led entity. It continues to be transparently managed and clearly focused on its very defined mission. Its overhead and administrative costs are limited but suitably necessary when professional legal and financial expertise is required. I look forward to to continuing to support it in the future as it works toward its financial and scientific goals.
