Landscape Portfolio | Tallgrass Prairie Illinois was once covered with tall grass prairie. This fertile land has been mostly converted to farming land. Although Illinois was on on the far eastern edge of the Great American Prairie, it still contains several restored prairies to remind us of their natural beauty. This image comes from the Nachusa Grasslands in northwestern Illinois managed by The Nature Conservancy. See The Great American Prairie | a 7 Image Story for additional information and images,
The Back Story The Nachusa Grasslands has numerous trails through the grasslands. Most images come from simple clicks along the trail.
