In 1977 Steve Packard decided that the present riverine border of the North
Branch of the Chicago River was a man-degraded remnant of an original
prairie savanna woodland.  By astute publicity, politics, polemics and
enthusiasm he had recruited over 5,000 volunteers to restore and maintain
20,000 acres, and these organisations are still growing.
