The River Corps of Discovery, developed by biologists Dr. Michael Jeffords, Susan Post, and Carolyn Nixon, at the Illinois Natural History Survey, is based on the original Lewis & Clark Expedition that started in Illinois and became one of the greatest exploratory endeavors undertaken on the North American continent. The members observe and record the beauty and changing nature of Illinois’ river systems with sketches, photographs, journals, and other artistic media.
