Natural Area and Wildlife Habitat Preservation

• Natural Resource Preservation - Restoration and Enhancement
  When the Park District acquires natural areas, they are often in need of services beyond basic maintenance and monitoring. Staff may do minor enhancement projects that remove invasive weeds or improve wildlife habitat. In other cases, significant restoration work will be performed to re-establish natural water flows, prevent erosion, or replant an area with native species, all to improve water quality.
• Natural Resource Land Acquisition
  The Park District's Natural Resources Management Plan provides a vision of a network of connected parks that provide for wildlife habitat and migration as well as environmental and recreational needs such as hiking. Bond funds could be used to acquire forests, wetlands, and stream corridors. Land acquisition is targeted for all four quadrants of the Park District.
