Watershed Referenda Pass!
On Nov. 5th, the counties of Lake, McHenry, Kane and DuPage had referenda on their ballots. We are pleased to see that all four counties passed their measures to preserve more land, improve water and air quality, maintain and restore existing forest preserves, and add recreational amenities such as trails and improve public access. The Conservation Foundation played a major role in educating the public and explaining what was up for a vote and why it was important. FREP was pleased to support these efforts as well. A big win for open space and a healthier Fox Watershed. Thank you for all who supported these measures.
