Celebrate!

Listen, Walk, Dance, Learn - for Bell Bowl Prairie

On October 28th, the Rockford airport announced a temporary pause of construction activities in the prairie until March 2022, a thankful reprieve from the impending November 1st, 2021 deadline for action. We can celebrate this small win, but our goal to protect Bell Bowl Prairie forever hasn't yet been achieved. Stay tuned to the #SaveBellBowlPrairie effort and let's spend the weekend celebrating!
