Happy Arbor Day!
Join the Boone County Conservation District's Natural Areas Technician Ben Davies to learn about the importance of our oak ecosystems!

Oak savannas and woodlands, collectively referred to as oak ecosystems, are imperiled in Illinois due to habitat loss, invasive species, and fire suppression. On conservation lands across the state, land managers are working to restore these critically important ecosystems, including here in Boone County. This presentation breaks down the history of oak ecosystems in Boone County, what has happened to them, and how we are working to bring them back!
