I9M Volo Bog to receive traveling display on prairieland United Way campaign reaches a small 'lull' Total gifts pledged to the 1984 United Way of McHenry County Annual Campaign as of Oct. 23 were $45,581, 14 percent of the $315,000 goal. Campaign Chairman, E. Louise Rogers, indicated that "Our cam- OUR GOAL $315,000 90 70 SO 30 IOO 0O - -it-- 60 40 20 UnibedVtay paign is now in a bit of a lull as far as reporting of pledges goes. We always start with a bang due to some early bird reporting of results. It then takes a fews weeks for the entire campaign to gain momentum and for additional significant results to begin flow­ ing." According to Rogers: "The $45,581 pledged to date includes $4,444 of the total $61,340 dollars in new pledges that we need to at­ tract to make our goal this year. This pace is slightly belcv the rate of growth needed to assure achievement of our goal. However, with over 300 volunteers working hard at this time in every area of McHenry County, I am confident that we will begin show­ ing marked progress towards our goal in the next few weeks."

Chairman "The Tallgrass Prairie: An American Landscape," a two-part exhibition dealing with a uniquely- American natural ecological com­ munity, will be on view Nov. 24 through Dec. 23 at the Volo Bog State Natural Area. The display, provided by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum Services, features photos, most in color, and other il­ lustrations of the tallgrass prairie environment. Many of the cap­ tions were developed from quotes taken from dairies, notes and other writings of early explorers of North America, from Coronado to Lewis and Clark. A series of special programs, lectures and demonstrations highlighting various aspects of the Illinois prairie will be held in conjunction with the exhibition, on a schedule to be announced. According to Alexia Trzyna, in­ terpreter at Volo Bog, the first part of the display focuses on historic aspects of the prairie. The second half, entitled "The Prairie Today," provides a glimpse of life in this vanishing environment and documents the kinds of events that have taken place there, the people who have lived there, the natural phenomena that have created or shaped the prairie, and (he wildlife inhabiting such areas. At one time, Trzyna said, tallgrass prairieland covered 250 million acres within the area bounded by Canada, Texas, Kan­ sas and Indiana. It was inhabited first by Indians and explored later by European and American adventurers, beginning in the 16th century. The prairie ultimately became the focal point of the homestead movement and in relatively short order was taken over by settlers because of its ex­ tremely fertile soil. ^ Many of the grasses found only in the prairie environment have survived since the ice ages, but the eco-system nonetheless is a fragile one that is difficult to restore to its original state once It has been disturbed, Trzyna ex­ plained. Though man has bred numerous new strains of grasses, the prairie species remain the ideal forms for that environment, she said. Always subject to natural threats and changes, such as ero­ sion and the encroachment of woody vegetation, the prairies survived for millions of years without major transformation un- t i l t h e a r r i v a l o f t h e homesteaders, ranchers, farmers and community builders, Trzyna noted. Volo Bog State Natural Area is one and one half miles west of Route 12 on Brandenburg Road, northeast of McHenry.
