SUMMARY:Angler's Lake Stakeholder Meetings: January 6 & 7 (5:30-7:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Anglers Lake has benefited from stewardship efforts over the years by individuals\, the City of Bloomington\, and other partners\, and it continues to be a valued site for many in our community. Unfortunately\, native biodiversity at the site has declined as invasive species have spread and displaced native grasses\, forbs\, and shrubs. \nIn coordination with the City of Bloomington\, the Ecology Action Center (EAC) hopes to add Anglers Lake as a Sugar Creek Stewards workday location. The EAC currently supports stewardship at Fairview Park and Ewing II and has done so for many years. \nOur hope is to begin coordinating regular stewardship workdays at Anglers Lake next year to help implement a long-term management plan. To do this thoughtfully and collaboratively\, we want to bring together all existing groups and individuals to develop a shared\, mutually agreed-upon vision through a stakeholder process. We do not wish to intrude upon or override any ongoing efforts; rather\, our goal is to help formalize\, support\, and build upon the many years of dedication already invested in this site. \nTo that end\, we invite all interested to participate in a collaborative stakeholder process to help inform the development of a site management plan by a qualified professional contractor. These meetings will be held at the Bloomington Public Library\, Community Room 2\, on January 6 and January 7 from 5:30–7:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend one or both meetings. \nIf you are unable to attend\, but would still like to give input\, please email kvogler@ecologyactioncenter.org to receive a form for input. \nThe Ecology Action Center will make reasonable accommodations for participation in public programs and services. To request accommodation\, please call 309-454-3169×11 or go to ecologyactioncenter.org/accommodation. Please provide two weeks advance notice if possible.

SUMMARY:Grand Prairie Bird Alliance volunteer workday - let’s clean up Sugar Creek!
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that you can see bluebirds\, woodpeckers\, and so many other birds at the Illinois Art Station? This charming property at 101 E. Vernon includes a nice little forested area adjacent to Sugar Creek\, making it the perfect place for birds to meet their every day needs – native seeds to eat\, tree cavities for shelter\, and a creek for water. Windy weather has resulted in quite a bit of litter accumulating along the creek\, so help Grand Prairie Bird Alliance clean it up! The birds deserve better. Grand Prairie Bird Alliance will even provide hot chocolate. As a bonus\, the clean-up will correspond with the Art Station’s monthly free art hours\, so you can get inside to warm up and do some art as well! All are welcome. No skill required. \nWhen: Saturday\, January 24 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. \nWhere: Illinois Art Station\, 101 E. Vernon (ADA accessible parking off Vernon at the main entrance; additional parking off Linden right near the creek)

SUMMARY:Wild Ones: Illinois Prairie Chapter Program "Starting Native Plants from Seed"
DESCRIPTION:On January 25\, from 2:00-3:00pm join the Wild Ones: Prairie Chapter in “Starting Native Plants from Seed” at the Bloomington Public Library Community Room. View this event and others at illinoisprairie.wildones.org/chapter-events \nGrowing native plants from seed generally involves different processes than growing many garden vegetables from seed because most native plant seeds need to “experience” winter conditions in order to successfully germinate. In this program you will learn – where to get native plant seed; how to create the conditions needed for native plant seeds to germinate; and how to prepare your seedlings for life in your garden. Free native seed packets will be available to get you started so that your plants are ready to plant in your garden this spring. Supplies of these seed packets are limited. Some of these seeds were harvested from the new Prairie on the Patio native plant garden at Bloomington Public Library. \nThis program and Bloomington Public Library’s new Prairie on the Patio Garden was made possible through grant funding from the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation with additional support from Wild Ones: Illinois Prairie Chapter. \nPresenter Bio: \nSherrie Snyder is a graduate of the University of Illinois Extension Master Naturalist program\, a founding member of the Illinois Prairie chapter of Wild Ones\, and an active member of the ParkLands Foundation. She has grown and donated thousands of native plants for natural plantings around the community.

SUMMARY:Wild Ones: Illinois Prairie Chapter Program "How to Love a Forest"
DESCRIPTION:On February 9\, from 7:00-8:30pm join the Wild Ones: Prairie Chapter in “How to Love a Forest” on Zoom. Advance registration is required. Register for this event and others at illinoisprairie.wildones.org/chapter-events. A recording of the program will be available on YouTube following the program. \nWhat does it mean to love a forest? In this talk\, Ethan Tapper\, will draw from his work as a forester and his bestselling book — How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World — to discuss what it means to care for forests and other ecosystems at this moment in time. How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species’ incredible power to heal rather than to harm? How do we reach towards a better future? In a time in which many believe that “protecting” ecosystems means protecting them from ourselves\, Ethan argues that humans must take action to help ecosystems heal and to move into a more abundant future. Ethan’s message is at once compassionate and pragmatic\, clear-eyed and hopeful\, sobering and inspiring\, a powerful new idea for how we can build a world that works for all of its ecosystems and all of its people. \nPresenter Bio: \nEthan Tapper is a forester\, digital storyteller\, and the bestselling author of How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World.

SUMMARY:Bird Movie at the Normal Theater! Listers: A Glimpse into Extreme Birdwatching
DESCRIPTION:Calling all birders and movie goers alike! Join the Grand Prairie Bird Alliance at the Normal Theatre on February 17 at 7pm for a movie like no other! \nFollow brothers Owen and Quentin Reiser on their Big Year quest to see as many bird species as possible across America. Undaunted by their lack of bird watching experience\, and fueled by a DIY attitude\, Owen and Quentin not only saw 579 bird species – they also created a hilarious\, heartwarming documentary that has inspired countless people to get out into nature and appreciate wildlife. Screening this movie in cooperation with the Town of Normal is just one way we are helping the Town meet its goals as a designated “Bird City Illinois” community\, which seeks to make Normal a better place for birds through habitat restoration\, education\, and inspiration. \nDoor prizes will be available compliments of the Grand Prairie Bird Alliance\, which works closely with the Town on many bird initiatives. \nThis documentary includes some swearing and mentions of drug use\, so folks with kids may want to do a bit of research in advance.

SUMMARY:2026 Winter Bike Movie 'Bike Vessel'
DESCRIPTION:The Town of Normal is very excited to be showing Bike Vessel as the 2026 “winter bike movie” on Wednesday\, March 18 at 7 p.m. at the Normal Theater. (We’ve hosted an annual bike movie for many years – always a great time!) This movie has a local twist\, featuring a father-and-son duo who ride Route 66 from St. Louis to Chicago in an effort to improve the father’s health. Here’s what they have to say: \nOur main goal is to educate the Black community on prevalent health issues. It is important to us that we not only showcase what an unhealthy lifestyle can lead to\, but also provide a pathway forward and show what types of adjustments can be made to live a lasting\, healthy life. We intend to make Bike Vessel an easily accessible film\, [which is why it is being screened for free]. \n We truly feel like Bike Vessel the film is really the Trojan Horse for the bigger project we have planned: A cross-country tour that celebrates healthy living and a love for cycling. Our campaign will include partnering with health organizations to host screenings and produce literature that people can take after seeing the film. We want the community to leave our events with a greater sense of love for their bodies\, love for their health\, and hopefully\, a new curiosity of exercise through cycling. \nEVEN BETTER\, the father will attend the event for a Q & A following the end of the movie.
