@Dastardly_Qlud @DocHPJones @GovPritzker @amazon He's been aware of it since the beginning and has chosen to do nothing. Despite receiving thousands of calls urging him to intervene yesterday alone

[Holly Jones @DocHPJones]

We won't forget @GovPritzker that your legacy in the prairie state is allowing an ancient prairie to be bulldozed so @amazon can have a larger runway.

@BellBowlPrairie This is heartbreaking. So many people fought it, and I am proud of that.

Please take care of yourselves today as we share in our collective grief

We are devastated to say that at 6:00 this morning, the Chicago Rockford International Airport proceeded with their destruction of Bell Bowl Prairie. We are so grateful for all the love and support she has received over the last two years. I'm so sorry.

The FAA has given the #RockfordAirport expansion project its go-ahead. As May Watts once famously said, "the bulldozers are drooling." But conservationists say their fight to preserve @BellBowlPrairie is not over. https://t.co/yQeurkOQ5j #SaveBellBowlPrairie

We are once again at a critical turning point that determines whether Bell Bowl Prairie will see another season or be ripped up for a road. If you're in the area (or willing to drive) consider attending this rally. And if you're not, call your reps and the governor's office!

@BellBowlPrairie @GovPritzker Save the prairie in PRAIRIE STATE!

New from @BellBowlPrairie - the nonprofit Natural Land Institute has sued the FAA for greenlighting a road through the prairie, possibly as early as March 9 (Thursday). The rare gravel hill prairie has been threatened by the expansion of the Rockford airport.
