Sprawl Closing in on Wolf Road Prairie

Protecting Stream Corridor and Wetland


The recent townhouse development visible in the upper right hand corner of the photo below is an example of encroachment by sprawl into the Wolf Road Prairie Watershed and Eco-Region.

A portion of 10 Hickory Lane (owned by Save the Prairie Society) is shown here -- west of Hickory Lane Drive.

This aerial photo allows you to trace the route of the stream corridor as it meanders through Hickory Lane Estates into Wolf Road Prairie. You can also identify restoration areas on the conservation buffer properties which appear golden and textured in contrast to Eurasian turf lawn.
