| M.J. Hatfield found a new passion mid-life when she came face-to-face with the bugs she discovered on the land she owned in northeastern Iowa. She went back to college to study entomology, and today as a citizen scientist she is an expert on what she says are most numerous, yet the least studied and most underappreciated elements of the natural world. “With insects, I can go out on my land any day and find something I’ve never seen before.” ~ Woodlands & Prairies, Summer 2011. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Dale Shriver, who worked at O’Hare International Airport as an airplane mechanic, bought 33 acres northwest of Chicago because he was lonely for the farm in Pennsylvania where he grew up. He never dreamed that 30 years later he’d be named Illinois Tree Farmer of the Year. He also became a leader in the crusade to protect oak ecosystems from invasions of exotic species and urban development spreading out from Chicago. Dale and his wife, Judy, signed an agreement with the county to ensure that their 33 acres of oak woodland will never be sold for development but will be preserved as public land after they’re gone. The woodland will be for future generations to care for and enjoy, Dale says. ~ Woodlands & Prairies, Fall 2010. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
