Reconnecting the Wild #Midwest
Explore how #TNC is rebuilding connections between habitats to help #MidwestWildlife—and people—thrive in a changing climate
Published March 02, 2026
"Wildlife needs room to roam, and the Midwest is full of amazing habitats—such as forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers—that aren’t connected, leaving wildlife stuck and struggling. That's why TNC is linking forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers across the Midwest so wildlife can move, adapt and thrive.
"What Is a Wildlife Corridor? Why Are They Important?
"#Habitat Crridors can be interconnected land-based environments, such as #forests and #prairies, as well as #rivers and other freshwater passages that allow aquatic species to move freely. These healthy, #biodiverse areas are beneficial for people too, as they can help reduce flood risk to communities and provide more recreational opportunities in nature.
"However, the Midwest region is highly fragmented. #Habitats are subdivided across different landowners, and many are highly degraded.
"To address this, TNC serves as our own type of corridor, coordinating protection and #stewardship efforts across properties owned by many different partners. Through these collaborations, we help secure funding to connect science with #conservation on the ground and in the water.
"Our work includes large-scale #HabitatRestoration projects that create and improve pathways, like our #CoastalRepair efforts in #SanduskyBay, #DamRemoval efforts in Southern #Indiana and our prescribed fire work in Southern #Illinois."

‘Painfully cold’ #ArcticBlast across Upper #MidwesternUS to trigger heavy #LakeEffectSnow
Another painful blast of Arctic air will follow a midweek East Coast rainstorm and the frigid air will set off a few more feet of lake-effect snow in some towns.
By Alex Sosnowski, Dec 9, 2024
"The same storm that will soak areas from the Appalachians to the Atlantic coast will have snappy cold on the back side that will not only have tens of millions reaching for midwinter coats but will also bury some Great Lakes towns knee-deep in the snow all over again, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
"Most travel problems in the East into Wednesday evening will be related to heavy rain, strong winds and fog. The storm producing the downpours will strengthen enough to pull Arctic air southeastward in a hurry from the Midwest to the Northeast.
"As the trouble-causing storm begins to move northward from the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, Arctic air will begin its move into the United States over the northern Plains. On Wednesday, the Arctic air will be blasting across the the Midwest with subzero AccuWeather RealFeel Temperatures and stiff northwesterly winds."
