<\/td>\nPRESS RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key One<\/strong>\u2010Acre Connector Site Added to Bowen Park to Preserve & Improve Rare Ravine Ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waukegan, IL (May 31, 2013) \u2013 <\/strong>The Waukegan Park District<\/a>\u00a0 today acquired a one\u2010acre site (See Map<\/a>)\u00a0at the north end of Bowen Park that plays a critical role in maintaining Waukegan\u2019s rare Glen Flora Ravine ecosystem. The property \u2013 acquired with the financial assistance of the Illinois Audubon Society in a transaction that was facilitated by multiple conservation organizations \u2013 can now be managed to help prevent ravine degradation, protect Bowen Park from invasive plants currently infesting the acquired site, avoid water damage to neighboring properties caused by uncontrolled runoff, and help preserve the ravine habitat including more than a dozen endangered plant species.<\/p>\n

Conserve Lake County<\/a>\u00a0 negotiated the purchase with the private landowner and also secured the participation of the Illinois Audubon Society<\/a> . The Society purchased the property from the landowner at fair market value, contributed 51% of the acquisition costs, and immediately passed ownership to the Waukegan Park District. The Park District will own the capstone property and integrate it into Bowen Park, preserving and managing it in perpetuity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very grateful to Conserve Lake County and to the Illinois Audubon Society for making it possible for us to acquire this key property cost\u2010effectively,\u201d said Janet Kilkelly, President of the Waukegan Park District. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting that we will now be able to preserve and manage the complete Glen Flora Ravine system.\u201d<\/p>\n

The acquisition is part of a larger project involving the restoration of Bowen Park and its ravine system. Now in its second year, the project is managed by the Park District in partnership with the Waukegan Harbor Citizens\u2019 Advisory Group, which has secured $1.433 million in funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as well as $43,000 from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The grants support management, protection and education efforts related to Bowen Park \u2013 including restoration of the park\u2019s frog pond for educational purposes \u2013 and other critical natural areas within the Waukegan Harbor Area of Concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cRavine ecosystems are rare both regionally and globally, particularly those that are in good condition. That makes Bowen Park and greater Glen Flora Ravine \u2013 with its ecological powerhouse of plants and animals \u2013 a real jewel in northern Illinois,\u201d said Tom Clay, Executive Director of the Illinois Audubon Society. \u201cThis parcel is the final piece of the puzzle in restoring and managing this beautiful area, and we were delighted to be able to help the Waukegan Park District preserve it for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBowen Park and the capstone parcel lie within the Illinois Beach\u2010Chiwaukee Prairie Conservation Opportunity Area which is identified in the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan, so protecting and caring for the ravine moves conservation forward for Illinois\u2019 people and wildlife,\u201d said Nathan Aaberg, Associate Director of Conserve Lake County.<\/p>\n

The mission of the Illinois Audubon Society is to promote the perpetuation and appreciation of native\u00a0plants and animals and the habitats that support them. The Illinois Audubon Society is an independent, member supported, not\u2010for\u2010profit, statewide organization. Founded in 1897, the Society is Illinois\u2019 oldest private conservation organization with over 2300 members, 21 chapters and 15 affiliate groups. The Illinois Audubon Society has protected over 3000 acres by investing more than $6 million to protect land and water throughout Illinois.<\/p>\n

Conserve Lake County serves the many people who believe that keeping Lake County\u2019s land and water healthy is vital for the wellbeing of people and wildlife. This non\u2010profit organization has preserved over 400 acres of natural areas and farmland and helps people care for nature where they live, work, and play through the Conservation@Home program.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
