The article focuses on the changes in the Illinois Natural Areas Inventory (INAI) project of the Illinois Department of Natural Resource (IDNR) with the aim of meeting the needs of conservative-minded landowners and state regulators. The changes consist of two components. The first one include the systematic screening to find, describe, evaluate, classify and map new natural areas using new technologies and criteria. The second one include remapping, regrading and vegetation analyses of the new natural areas within the state.
