The Problem
Our community is full of barren lawns that don't provide much wildlife habitat and our children and other residents have lost touch with nature. Our goal is to increase people's access to the outdoors and reconnect them with nature by increasing habitat throughout town. To this end, we are partnering with our library and local conservation groups to present programs on native plants and landscaping, and we are working with our city to get certified as a "Bird City Illinois" through the Audubon Council of Illinois.
