The Great Western Prairie a Valuable Asset to Elmhurst

Elmhurst Cool Cities and the Elmhurst Park District present "Elmhurst's Great Western Prairie," on Tues., May 3, 7 p.m., Elmhurst Public Library.

Learn about the Great Western Prairie -- its history, its value to the ecosystem and to our community, as well as opportunities to assist with maintenance and upkeep.

The Great Western Prairie is located within Wild Meadows Trace just north of the Prairie Path between Spring Road and Salt Creek. This area is the oldest living environment in Elmhurst. Left by chance, the existence of the prairie adds a very special ecological dimension to the community. 

This program is free and open to the public. This is not an Elmhurst Public Library-sponsored event. For more information, contact Elmhurst Cool Cities at ecoolcities@gmail.com or 630/426-9789.
