Springdale Cemetery SavannaThanks for Your Help!The Savanna at Springdale Cemetery in Peoria is a native remnant of the tallgrass oak savanna that once covered Illinois River bluffs prior to European settlement - and the only such remnant located within the city of Peoria. In 2006, the Peoria Audubon Board was informed that Springdale Cemetery Management Authority had considered converting the savanna to burial plots. The Peoria Audubon Board went on record to the Cemetery Authority asking that the savanna be maintained in its natural state rather than converting it to burial plots. Letter to Cemetery Authority:
Thanks to your help, the savanna was preserved. Dennis, webmaster for Peoria Audubon Society, took the following photos while on a bicycle ride through the 6 1/2 miles of trails at the cemetery. Map of Springdale Cemetery. Deer at Springdale Cemetery Savanna
