Enjoy a visit with Master Gardener and Author Cindy Crosby featuring the largest and most charismatic of Illinois' mammals - the bison!

Learn more about how bison play an important role in Illinois' original garden - the tallgrass prairie - as well as some of their history and habits. Discover how bison are portrayed in literature, music, art, and popular culture. Cindy Crosby will also share where you can see bison and tallgrass prairie in The Prairie State!

Her latest title published in 2020 is Chasing Dragonflies: A Natural, Cultural, and Personal History with 16 full-color images by Peggy Macnamara, artist-in-residence at the Field Museum of Chicago. She is a Master Gardener, a steward emeritus for the Schulenberg Prairie at The Morton Arboretum and a volunteer dragonfly steward at Nachusa Grasslands in Franklin Grove, IL.
