Featuring the Master Naturalist Pages

For this spring's issue, instead of showing one of our regular articles, we are featuring the Master Naturalist Pages. These pages will be included in every issue. While they are written to give additional background information to main articles and to bolster the knowledge of Master Naturalists enrolled in this new University of Illinois Extension program, the content can inform and entertain all readers of The Illinois Steward. Enjoy!
