For the past 29 years, Angella Moorehouse has worked for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) as a field representative for the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission in west-central Illinois, where she prepares conservation easements to protect high-quality natural areas and assists in the management and monitoring of flora and fauna of these sites. She has also published 6 insect field guides. 

 

Join Angella on a tour of the IDNR Land and Water Reserve Cecil White Hill Prairie! This 33-acre property features loess hill prairie. We hope to find some rough blazing star in bloom this fall.
