Conservation Congress Follow-Up Working Session
Please save the date: TUESDAY APRIL 13 2010, for a working session in Springfield to follow up on some of the important initiatives from last October's Conservation Congress. It will be six months since over 140 conservationists recommended actions we can all pursue on Conservation Finance, Public Access to Lands, and Youth Recruitment and Retention. It will be time to review progress on some of the top recommendations, and to pool our efforts to make further progress.
We expect the day's activities to run from 9 am through the afternoon, with an evening reception. More information on the agenda, and how to register, will be available in the coming months on the Conservation Congress website at http://dnr.state.il.us/nrab/cc.htm.
The recommendations from the October Congress are now posted on that website, and available at the links below:
You are all invited to register for the working session on April 13, whether or not you attended last October's Congress. Please pass this information along to others who may be interested. Your participation is important, to make sure your voice is heard and that together we are a strong force to further conservation and outdoor recreation in Illinois.
Where: Springfield, IL
Sponsor: Illinois Department of Natural Resources
