Irene Herlocker-Meyer (née Speros; April 19, 1921 – September 21, 2014) was an American chemist and environmental activist, notable for her successful ten-year effort to save the Hoosier Prairie in Lake County, Indiana. This pocket of 335 acres, a piece of true prairie, in the heart of an industrial region, is a remnant of natural meadowland that has never been farmed or forested.
