Woodland Wildflower Walks

Last week, Ryan Campbell & Bob Lootens led two woodland wildflower walks in Fermilab's Big Woods. Campbell, who recently received his Master’s degree from Southern Illinois University has been hired as a consultant for restoration ecology at Fermilab. Ryan also has a history of years of work at Fermilab.

Legal Status

FNA, which is currently a part of Fermi Research Alliance, is actively pursuing our own status as a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of Illinois and the Internal Revenue Service. While contributions to FNA are tax-deductible, we will soon be an independent corporation. We recently became a legal not-for-profit corporation in Illinois, and we are actively working on the paperwork to submit to IRS to obtain our legal, “tax deductible” status. We expect to have this soon.
