Habitat restoration in Dupage county Illinois

Order Description
My environmental science capstone is about my experiences in restoring a local forest preserve in the Chicago land area. It’s rather open ended but some there are a few important aspects of restoration to include. The Dupage forest preserves website details many different ways that help in the restoration of forests, prairies, and wetlands of these I planned on writing about: reintroducing native plants and animal species, removing invasive species, and educating the public on the importance of the natural communities. Restoration helps in maintaining and growing ecological conditions that help sustain local communities of plants and animals. Restoration is important in maintaining biodiversity and sustaining the environment in ways that make sure that it remains functioning and beneficial to all. Dupage forest preserves offer many opportunities to volunteer in restoration projects and I have already gone to a few which dealt with the removal of invasive plant species such as honeysuckle and buckthorn.
