Land Dedication
The formal dedication of the land purchased by Pheasants Forever, to be developed into upland habitat, will be dedicated on Sunday May 16 at
1 p.m., Forest Glen Preserve.
This land along with the eleven adjoining acres purchased by the Conservation District Foundation will be deeded to the Conservation District and maintained as wildlife habitat. The area will be converted into a natural prairie supporting a variety of native grasses and wildlife. In addition, the area will be used for outdoor classrooms where students can learn the importance of conservation and protecting our natural resources. |
