Daily Herald report

Illinois veterans interested in working on a volunteer basis on projects that restore the state's natural habitats can join the Veterans Conservation Corps, a joint program from the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The VCC is forming a combined group at Volo Bog State Natural Area in Ingleside and Moraine Hills State Park & McHenry Dam in McHenry. Volunteers are needed for a variety of projects.

Volunteers become part of a team that is dedicated to protect Illinois' natural resources, gain new skills and knowledge, work with natural resource professionals and connect with people who have the same interests. Contact their local IDVA office: McHenry County (815) 338-9292 or Lake County

(847) 689-4798. Visit www2.illinois.gov/veterans.
