The 2024 solar eclipse was a major event for the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois, as it fell directly within the path of totality. This meant viewers in the forest experienced complete darkness for several minutes during the peak of the eclipse. The Shawnee National Forest was a prime viewing location, attracting a large influx of visitors from across the country and the world.
The staff's dedication involved long hours, often working overtime and weekends, to ensure everything was in place for the eclipse event. Their efforts were crucial in making the 2024 solar eclipse a successful and memorable experience for all who visited the Shawnee National Forest. Despite the large crowds, their proactive planning and hard work helped to manage the event effectively and maintain the integrity of the natural environment. (USDA Forest Service video by Marc J.
