Thanks for listening to the community
Finally, after listening to the community outcry, the Glen Ellyn Park District Board decided to listen and help our cause. They helped us in a major way and told us they actually do care by not putting in the three soccer fields at Ackerman Woods.
This was a big step forward for those of us who believe in saving Ackerman Woods, which happens to be almost all of Glen Ellyn (and even surrounding communities). Every one I have asked that did not know about the situation was extremely upset (about the threat to the trees.)
Thank you for listening to my thoughts and taking the time to care.
