WHEN THE RAIN KEEPS COMING, PREPAREDNESS MATTERS.
Heavy rains can change a landscape quickly.
In western Illinois, we know that heavy rain can mean flooded fields, rising creeks, closed roads, and water where we don't want it.

We can't control how much rain falls. But we can prepare—by understanding our landscape, strengthening our communities, and working together.

What would make your community better prepared for the next big rain? That's the kind of conversation we're starting with Illinois Climate Stewards this fall.

4 sessions • Online + in person • Field experience
Registration closes September 30
