Nachusa Grasslands is a restored swath of prairie, woodland, and wetland with many plant and animal species native to Illinois.
The project began in 1986 when a group of community members bought about 400 acres to bring back the native prairie in its titular state after years of the land being used for agriculture. According to the U.S. National Park Service, prairie isNow, the grassland’s size is 10 times that and continues to expand with the purchase of new land parcels, something the Nature Conservancy, the nonprofit organization that manages Nachusa, takes every opportunity to do, Bach said.
Data sets as large as those at Nachusa are rare in ecology research, Bach said. Most grant-funding cycles last three to five years, and getting funding for a project beyond that is a “steep challenge,” she said. This means the data may only reflect a few seasons, when natural landscape changes can take much longer.
Within the herd, females stick close to their calves, forming a tight family unit. Male bison may roam off on their own, sometimes popping up where Bach least expects them. They spend the days ambling about, issuing guttural noises and wallowing, when they roll in the dirt to remove flies and leave behind their scent, visible from the poof of a dust cloud.
