Natural Areas Stewardship Manual

This manual provides ecological management information and leadership resources for East Central Illinois volunteer natural area stewards; it is a valuable guide for both first-time and established stewards alike.

The Champaign County Forest Preserve District, Grand Prairie Friends, and the Urbana Park District have worked together to develop this manual for use not only within their own stewardship programs, but also as a resource for similar organizations within the East-Central Illinois region.
