State of Change: The state of the Illinois Prairie
State of Change 2025 looks at efforts to retain existing prairie in Illinois, as well as strategies to restore some areas to a more natural state. Emmy winning host and producer Tinisha Spain hosted this year’s State of Change from the Loda Cemetery Prairie Nature Preserve in Iroquois County, Illinois.
