HOPEWELL HILL PRAIRIES VASCULAR PLANT INVENTORY

IntroductionThe Hopewell hill prairies were ;first publically documented as a plant community in

the Illinois Natural Areas Inventorf (1 . An earlier detailed study of hill prairies byRobert A. Evers (2) did not include aW'ofthe hill prairies on the west side of the Illinoisriver north of Peoria. In the Hopewell safes hill prairies section of the INAI, the 78acre natural area contained 21 scattered prairies . See attachment 1 . About the time ofthe inventory, the Hopewell site was subdivided into residential lots and sold toindividual owners. Protection of some of the hill prairies commenced 1 in 1997 and now4 prairies have been restored and dedicated as the Hopewell Hill Prairies Nature Preserve(3), (4), (5). Another 2 prairies have been restored and provided some protection as anIllinois Natural Heritage Landmark. This plant survey was undertaken to aid in themanaging of the natural area .

MethodsThe objective of this survey is to identify most of the plants in the 6 protected prairies

and in 2 other accessible prairies . The best remaining savannas in Central Illinoissurround hill prairies according to Marlin Bowles (6), so many of these plants were alsoidentified. Since the hill prairies are relatively small, the full inventory method wasused. No historical comparison of changes in the plant community is possible as theexact location of the transect used in the original INAI was not included .

Not all of the hill prairies identified in 1977 INAI work are still in existence due topersistent woody encroachment into the prairies, supression of fire and housingdevelopment. None of the 7 small prairie openings on the eastern end of the natural areaindicated in 1977 could be located and have probably been covered by woody invasion.The extant hill prairies are defined in this study by the ravines that dissect them and arenumbered from east to west as shown in the following table : .

Discussionplant communitiesThe Hopewell hill prairies and surrounding savannas which were surveyed are highly

diverse. 233 species of vascular plants were identified with many having highcoefficients of conservatism which indicates rare plants found in rare undisturbed habitat .With only 14 acres of Grade A glacial drift hill prairie found in Illinois in 1977, morethan an acre of this is found on lots 116 and 117 ( prairie #3) .

From the separate plant lists for each of the 8 praries surveyed, it can be shown thatsome plants are unique to each prairie . The larger restored Grade A prairie #3 had themost diversity of species ; however, protecting more of the prairies would protect more ofthe diversity of the natural area .

- - individual species

At the beginning of the study there were 2 state threatened plant species, but in May of1999, both of these were delisted . Smooth forked aster (Aster Schreberi) is found near#3 and # 12 prairies and is blooming profusely at the tops of north slopes on Lots 119, 402and 356 . Black-seeded rice grass (Oryzopsis racemosa) was found at one location in thevillage of Hopewell but not in the natural area . The Rattlesnake master (Eryngiumyuccifolium) plant found on prairie #3 is worth mentioning because this species was notrecorded in the 36 prairies in the Evers study (2). 52 species of plants were found whichare not currently included in the Marshall county list of the Illinois Plant InformationNetwork ( 7 ) .

restoration and maintenanceIntensive restoration has been done on prairies # 1,2,3,4,1 land 12 by Maury Brucker

and Emiko Yang (8) (9) . Maintaining the prairie and savanna plant communities by alow level effort of selective cutting and individual plant herbicide treatment and weedingshould continue to be oriented toward protecting and encouraging the more conservativeplants in the natural area . This maintainance will be required into the foreseeable futureto sustain the integrity of these plant communities . Although Garlic mustard (Alliariapetiolata) has not yet been found, this serious threat should be looked for regularly .Exotics and weeds are primarily found next to the frontage roads and utility areas asshown by the subarea plant list for lot 116 and 117 in Appendix 1 .

From the plant lists by prairies and the extant prairies descriptions, a suggestedstrategy for securing additional protection should be focused on Lots 238 and 125 .Working with residents who have small prairies on their lots could also be done whentime is available .

- Lot 238 has 2 hill prairies # 13, 14 and parts of 2 others #7,12 . this 14 acre outlotencompasses an entire high ridge and a complete ravine with good north slope plantssuch as Smooth forked aster (Aster Schrebiri), Marginal shield fern (Dropterismarginalis) and Bishop's cap (Mitella diphylla)

- Lot 125 is a vacant lot with a prairie on several small ridges with easy access andwhich is owned by an adjacnt resident .

- Further searches for the eastern 7 small prairies found in 1977 could be done ifaccess was arranged and time was available .
