I'm in the @chicagotribune.com today calling on @govpritzker.illinois.gov to protect the Illinois wetlands that keep floods out of our basements & our water clean.

Digging for data! AP environmental science students are extracting soil cores near the prairie, trees, and lawn on campus today to compare soil texture, color, and nutrient composition. Healthy soil is the foundation for a thriving and sustainable ecosystem.
