Area naturalist to lead prairie walk near Marengo On Sunday, July 22, Bill Wingate, naturalist, will lead the third in a series of seven area nature walks. The next walk, through the HUM Prairie in Marengo, will begin at 2 p.m. on the west side of Marengo. It is sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders and will feature a portion of the Huntley-Union-Marengo (HUM) Railroad Prairie. The HUM Prairie contains over 25 acres of high-quality prairie stretched over 15 miles of track. There are many rare and endangered species in the natural communities which compose the prairie. The Defenders has a lease with the Chicago, and Northwestern Railroad which allows the group to conduct activities to manage the prairie such as brush con­ trol, sign posting, and annual burns. The purple cornflower should be in full bloom on the day of the walk. Wingate will also give surprising introductions to a wide variety of animal life. To reach the starting point for the walk, go west on Railroad Street in Marengo till it ends at the tracks. Railroad Street intersects with Route 23 just three blocks north of Route 20. For more information, in­ terested persons may call Bill Wingate at (815 ) 459-4985 or call the Defenders office at (815) 459- 0450. ARE YOU NEW IN The McHenry Area?
