      The 320-acre Lockport Prairie Nature Preserve was acquired in 2011 and 2015.

      The preserve is part of the Des Plaines River preservation system, which conserves more than 2,400 acres.

      Prior to the acquisition of the land, the District managed the parcel for 30 years and leased it from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago(Opens in a new window).

      A 250-acre portion of the site was dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve in 1983. This dedication provides permanent protection for the natural resources at the preserve.
