Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie was established in 1996
on 19,000 acres of the Joliet Arsenal, which once manufactured munitions for
the army. It was the first national tallgrass prairie in the U.S. It is also
the southwestern-most corner of Chicago’s Millennium Reserve, which is being
developed as the nation’s largest network of urban parklands and natural areas.
Restoration of the native prairie landscape is a long-term
project. On a recent visit in early spring I found evidence of this effort as
well as obvious remains of its former life as a military installation. Here is
my photo essay.
