This is an updated and expanded second edition intended to meet the needs of

The forested island, located in Calhoun County in the Upper Mississippi River, provides an ideal setting for both research and conservation," according to Lyle Guyon, NGRREC terrestrial
ecologist. Guyon said the land will also provide an educational location where Lewis and Clark and the University of Illinois (both partners of NGRREC) will be able to train the next generation of
ecologists.
