Illinois Natural Areas Inventory Evaluation of Laona Heights Nature Preserve,Winnebago County, Illinois
IntroductionLaona Heights Nature Preserve located north of Durand lies in the Freeport section of theRock River Hill Country Division of Winnebago County, Illinois . This 20-acre dry mesicupland woods is owned and maintained by the Winnebago County Forest PreserveDistrict. Formal and informal studies of Laona Heights by the Illinois Natural AreasInventory, E. W. Fell, and others have found the woodland to be of Grade B quality witha high diversity of wildflowers such as puttyroot (Aplectrum hyemale), maidenhair fern(Adiantum pedatum), wood fern (Dryopteris spinulosa), green dragon (Arisaemadracontium), blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) and bloodroot (Sanguinariacanadensis) . In 1994, Laona Heights suffered severe storm damage from high winds .No studies have been conducted from 1994 to date to measure the extent of damage andpredict recovery within the forest . Products of this study reveal history, previous studies,vegetation lists, and maps of Laona Heights Nature Preserve .
Materials and MethodsTwo east to west transect lines 231 feet apart were set in the Laona Heights NaturePreserve. Identifying these lines are two permanently placed quarter inch rebar rodslocated at the east end of the lines . For easier location of these two pins, two additionalquarter inch rebar rods were installed along the southern boundary of the NaturePreserve: one 238 feet south of the southern transect line pin and the second 167 feet eastof the third, indicating the southeast corner of the Nature Preserve .
A 100 meter tape measured the transect lines in a westerly direction from the transect linepins. Ten points were selected along each transect line thirty-three meters apart for atotal of twenty points.
To achieve comparable notes for future evaluations, this study followed therecommendations illustrated in the Illinois Natural Areas Inventory updated manual .Data consists of tree basal area, tree, sapling, and shrub density, and ground layervegetation frequency . Basal areas were sampled using a 3 BAF metric wedge prism .Tree density and sapling and shrub density were collected using a 0 .025 hectare circularplot and 0.001 hectare square plot respectively . A 0.25 square meter was used incollecting ground flora frequency .
The Winnebago County Forest Preserve, Illinois Nature Preserves Commission, NaturalLand Institute, Rock Valley College, and University of Wisconsin Arboretum werecontacted or visited for history and previously collected information .
ResultsRelative dominance of mature trees within Laona Heights Nature Preserve was measuredusing a 3 BAF metric wedge prism. Basswood (Tilia americana) occupies a basal area of3.45 square meters/hectare producing a relative dominance of 20 .17%. White oak(Quercus alba) and red elm (Ulmus rubra) occupy 3 .30 square meters/hectare (19 .30%) .Tree species under 5% dominance are sugar maple (Acer saccharum), red elm (Fraxinusrubra), black walnut (Juglans nigra), ironwood (Ostrya virginiana), and black maple(Acer nigrum) .
Relative densities of tree species occurring within Laona Heights was recorded using a0.25 hectare circular plot. Red elm (Ulmus rubra) is found at the highest relative densityof 35 .42% (34 stems/hectare) . Hackberry (Carya occidentalis) populates 16.67% (16stems/hectare) with sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and basswood (Tilia americana)occurring in 12 .50% (12 stems/hectare) of the preserve . Trees with relative densitiesunder 5% (less than 5 stems/hectare) are yellow bud hickory (Carya cordiformis), whiteash (Fraxinus americana), black cherry (Prunus serotina), ironwood (Ostrya virginiana),and red oak (Quercus rubra).
A 0.001 hectare circular plot was used to gather sapling and shrub densities in theunderstory of Laona Heights . Of ten total points, four woody species were recorded.Gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa) has the highest density of 600 stems/hectare (relativedensity of 42.86%). Yellow bud hickory (Carya cordiformis) has 400 stems/hectare(28.57%) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) and black haw vburnum (Viburnumprunifolium) are measured at 200 stems/hectare (14 .28%).
Frequency of ground flora occurring within Laona Heights Nature Preserve was recordedusing a 0.25 square meter plot . Only species under one meter were included in the data .Of twenty points, garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) and false Solomon's seal (Smilacinaracemosa) occurred in all but one and two plots producing relative frequencies of 13 .28%and 12,59% respectively . Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) is found in 11 .19% ofthe preserve while catchweed (Galium aparine) and prairie trillium (Trillium recurvatum)occupy 9.79%. Least common species with occurrances under 1% are lady fern(Athyrium felixfemina), two Carex spp., field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), hazelnut(Corylus americana), tick trefoil (Desmodium glutinosum), white ash (Fraxinusamericana), impatiens (Impatiens spp.), honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), mayapple(Podophyllum peltatum), Virginia knotweed (Polygonatum virginianum), red elm (Ulmusrubra), and prickly ash (&mthoxylem americanum) .
History of Laona Heights Nature Preserve is provided by the Winnebago County ForestPreserve District along with George Poe's evaluation of the woodland and species listcollected by an anonymous person . An aerial map, Illinois Natural Areas InventoryEvaluation, final report, Vicki Nuzzo's data, and Illinois Nature Preserves Directoryinformation were provided by the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission . The NaturalLand Institute supplied street, county, and topographic maps .
Informal plant surveys conducted by Rock Valley College, Rockford, Illinois studentswere not found and assumed recycled . John T. Curtis' study of the vegetation ofWisconsin is thought to include the Laona Heights area as it is similar to the dry uplandwoodlands found in the southwestern section of Wisconsin . This theory is still inquestion as no contact was made with the University of Wisconsin Arboretum inMadison.
In the fall of 1999, markers placed by Vicki Nuzzo in preparation of a study to documentthe spread of garlic mustard through a woodland community were found . Searches forthese markers in the spring of 2000 were unsuccessful due to leaf litter and vegetation .
DiscussionThe intent of this vegetational evaluation of Laona Heights Nature Preserve is to providebaseline documentation for succeeding evaluations of forest recovery over time . Thestorm damage suffered by the woodland provides adequate canopy openings to study thesuccession of plant species that develop the area. Although there is a large gap of timebetween the initial Illinois Natural Areas Inventory Evaluation and this study, bothprovide insight to the changes and potential future of the site . Maintenance of thewoodland may be guided by the presence of invasive species, the necessity for theircontrol, and the prevention of additional invaders .
The impact of the windstorm in 1994 opened pockets within the tree canopy over LaonaHeights Nature Preserve . As a result, increased sunlight to the forest floor has aided ingermination of tree, shrub, and herbaceous species . According to the vegetationalinformation collected, many of the faster growing tree species such as red elm, yellowbud hickory, maples, and basswood are most prevalent throughout the woodland withmany young hickories and cherries appearing in the sapling and shrub layer . Someslower growing saplings of oak and ironwood were growing in the blow down areaswhere they receive optimum sunlight but few were seen in denser shade .
In the ground flora layer, garlic mustard is the most obvious component indicating itsthorough invasion. Over time, this species may crowd out the more conservative speciesof ferns and orchids growing in the woodland . Currently, few ferns and no orchids werefound along with sparse patches of grasses and sedges .
SummaryThe results of this Illinois Natural Areas Inventory evaluation of Laona Heights NaturePreserve along with the collection of previous biological background information willprovide insight for management recommendations to the Winnebago Count ForestPreserve District and Illinois Nature Preserves Commission. This information maybeused as baseline documentation for further monitoring and analysis of forest recoveryover time .

LAONA HEIGHTSAREA HISTORY
The settlement of Laona Townshipbegan in 1836 . A large number of the
original settlers were from western NewYork State and it is possible that the name"Laona" is derived from the village ofLaona in Chautauqua County, New York .
The village of Laona, Illinois, which waslocated at the junction of Eicks Road andRock Grove Road (County Highway 19)was apparently established quite early .From 1840-57 a village post office, ageneral store, and a blacksmith shop werelocated in this vicinity . The blacksmithshop was located on the present dayJoseph Gaffney farm and it was said instillbe in use after the closing of the last postoffice in 1875 .Milwaukee was the nearest large city
during the early years of the settlement ofthe township and many of the first settlershauled brick from there for their homes .
A creamery was built in the township in1893 at the total cost of $1000 . Areafarmers brough their milk to the creameryin light wagons and the butter producedthere was shipped to Rockford andneighboring towns . This building wasdestroyed by fire in 1918 . A cheese factorywas later constructed in the eastern part ofthe township and the structure has beenconverted into a residence which is still in
e use. It must be borne in mind that thepopulation of Laona township has alwaysbeen relatively small and, according toCharles A. Church, it numbered approxi-mately 500 persons in 1910 .
Three of the cemeteries in LaonaTownship were rehabilitated by townshipofficials for the Bicentennial . Weeds andovergrowth were removed from the Baptistcemetery on the Joseph Walsh farm, theLaona Township cemetery, and theCatholic cemetery. The ground for both ofthe latter cemeteries had been donated byJames Fenlon, a descendent of PatrickFenlon who came from Ireland with hiswife and six children and settled in theSugar River Precinct of Laona Townshipin 1836. Any property owner in LaonaTownship was entitled to be buried in thetownship cemetery free of charge. Apotter's field and space for itinerants wasalso provided . The Catholic cemeterycontains the graves of several members ofthe Fenlon family as well as the forbearersof several families still in the Laona area .Patrick Fenlon's son Peter received a grantfor the present day Bernard Highlandsproperty in 1843-45 . The first Catholicmass in the area was celebrated by atraveling priest in Peter Fenlon's log cabin .
James Fenlon also donated the land forthe Fenlon school in which many of thearea's children were educated . Land forLaona Center School was deeded by Asaand Molly Barker, December 4, 1852, for aconsideration of 55 and it was located atthe northwest corner of Yale Bridge Roadand Eicks Road. The township electionswere held at this school until April 1935when they were transferred to the townhall. An addition for voting purposes wasadded to the town hall in 1974 .
In early May 1950 the Laona CenterSchool was sold to Walter Randall . It wasrented as a home before it was purchasedby Claude Oakley who razed the buildingand constructed a new home on the site .
ACQUISITON AND HISTORY OFLA ONA HEIGHTS FOREST
PRESER VE
The original owner of the land thatcomprises the Laona Heights ForestPreserve was John Lockwood whoacquired the 40 acre tract on December 12,1845. An atlas published in 1871 indicatesthat the north twenty acres of the tractbelonged to E . (Let) Norton and the south20 belonged to A . McDonald . Theownership is shown to be the same onsubsequent atlases published in 1866 and1905. The 1886 atlas does indicate theexistence of a dwelling in the northeastcorner of the north 20 . but this buildinghad apparently disappeared by 1905 .
Shortly prior to its purchase by theForest Preserve District the north twentywas acquired by two Durand men, MillardMann and William "Billy" Walsh . Thesemen cut off some of the timber .
Colored Sands, Laona Hts .
The Winnebago County Forest PreserveDistrict acquired the north 20 acres of theproperty from Mann and Walsh for theprice of $4,000 on September 4, 1924. Thesouth portion consisting of 19 .9 acres wasacquired from Harry S . and Susan L . Dealon September 17, 1926, for the price of$2,500 .
Laona is described in a 1927 brochurepublished by the District as "one of the fewremaining forests of virgin timber" in thearea. The 40 acre preserve was comprisedof 18 acres of virgin timber, 15 acres secondgrowth, and 7 acres of open ground . Thebrochure suggested that "the way toappreciate the beauty of this forest is tospend one day communing with it in thestudy of the things of nature which can befound in no other part of the county".Laona became well known for wildflowers,wildfern, white-pine, maples, bass and oakwoods. A tornado swept through thepreserve in the late 1940's and destroyed allthe large trees in its path .
Many area residents will recall that thecaretaker of the Laona Preserve for 4 yearswas Charlie Traum . who retired from hisjob in March 1975 at the remarkable age of83 . Traum served under four differentsuperintendents of the Forest PreserveDistrict and his efforts in maintaining thepreserve made it a popular place for familyreunions .
