#57 Chicago Wilderness Magazine

I suppose by this time I should never be surprised by a journal, but I am. I picked up this issue at a library sale. Says there are about 200,000 acres of protected natural lands, 143 public and private organizations managing the ecosystems of the Chicago region.

Nice review about prayer and wilderness.


The Summer 2002 issue had an article about a woman who sells seeds on e-bay and spotted someone trying to sell an exotic weed that is devastating wetlands across the midwest. After the seller became less than pleasant when e-mailed about her illegal activity, the seed lady blew the whistle to the USDA and e-bay changed its policy on the sale of plants and weeds.
