About Emiquon Field Station
The University of Illinois at
Springfield (UIS) established
the Emiquon Field Station to
study, research, and docu-
ment the transformation of
the Emiquon region and give
students the opportunity to
learn at the site. The station is
located on a hillside overlook-
ing the Emiquon floodplain
along the Illinois River near
Lewistown, IL. Opened in
April 2008, the Emiquon Field Station (EFS) is a center of research activity
on restoration ecology which monitors the restoration progress being made
at the Emiquon Project. The mission of EFS is to teach natural sciences
and train students of all ages in effective field biology techniques; learn
more about natural flood-plain processes, freshwater ecology, and restora-
tion and management strategies; and research cooperatively with regional,
national, and international experts intimately familiar with the river and
flood-plain restoration.
Location: 11316 N. Prairie Road
Lewistown, IL 61542
The Emiquon Field Station is located northwest of Havana on Illinois State Route 78/97.
