See plans for Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve at Sept. 7 open house
Share your thoughts about the proposed redevelopment plans for Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve at a public informational meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
It will be 4 to 6 p.m. at the Natural Resource Management facility, located within Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve at 2N253 Brundige Road in Elburn.
The district plans to submit an application to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for projects as part of their Open Space Land Acquisition & Development program.
The proposed plan includes a multi-skill level archery range, shelter, restroom, parking lot and interpretive nature trails.
Two plans (Option A and Option B) will be available for mark-up at the meeting, and the public is encouraged to share their comments.
Public comment will also be accepted online at bit.ly/PIM_Comments through Sept. 7.
"This project is a perfect example of how the district can create wildlife habitat and new opportunities for recreation by retiring farmland. Archery is a growing sport and we plan to provide a course that caters to all skill levels and bow types," said landscape architect Zach Tegge.
District staff will be available to answer questions at the meeting.
For directions to the meeting location or other questions, call the administrative headquarters at (630) 232-5980.
