Lost Mound staff organized a conference on sand prairie ecology.
The conference was held in April 2004 and featured over 20
speakers and 100 participants from 8 states. Highlights included
a field trip to the sand prairies, a lunch sponsored by the
Northwest Illinois Audubon Society (NIAS) featuring mostly
organic or locally-produced food, and breaks with shade-grown
coffee and homemade treats sponsored by the Natural Area Guardians,
Prairie Enthusiasts, NIAS, and Wild Birds Unlimited.
Another conference is being planned for 2008 to coincide
with the 100th anniversary of Henry Allan Gleason’s
field work on sand prairie plant communities at what is now
Lost Mound.
