Elmhurst Great Western Prairie

The Elmhurst Great Western Prairie (EGWP) is a six-acre, one mile long prairie remnant located immediately north of the Illinois Prairie Path in Elmhurst, Illinois. The EGWP has been maintained largely by volunteers since 1977 and is owned by the Elmhurst Park District.

The Elmhurst Great Western Prairie is a small plot of land that, through incomplete land allocation, has been allowed to remain undisturbed since before Elmhurst was first settled. The EGWP is located between two abandoned railway beds, the Chicago Great Western Railway on the north and the Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad to the south.

Plants of the EGWP

According to a 1977 survey conducted by the Elmhurst Prairie Project, the following plants are present there:

gollark: My main issue with it is:- JS is a wildly unsafe language (in different ways to C, at least) although TS partly fixes this. *Partly*- Hundreds of dependencies needed to do much. I recently interacted with someone on the internet who said this was a *good* thing, and talked about `is-number` being useful. They may be nsane.
gollark: Callbacks have been *mostly* obsoleted by promises, fortunately.
gollark: See, I avoid the hassle of PHP by writing web applications in Node.js, which has fun exciting things like asynchronousness with something like three different ways to write it (events, callbacks, promises, arguably generators), and 1000 dependencies per project.
gollark: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor
gollark: > hears about worse thing> insists on using it
