Lake County's Disappearing Landscape
Presented by Sarah Surroz Liberty Prairie Conservancy
7:30 pm Libertyville Village Hall
|
Population continues to grow at a rapid pace in Lake County, home of the state’s
highest concentration of threatened and endangered species. In this presentation
you will learn about new efforts—based on proven strategies—to balance
growth in Lake County with preservation of natural areas and farmland. The
economic and other benefits of open space will be reviewed and the group will
be introduced to the conservation easement—an increasingly popular tool for
preserving America’s open lands.
The Liberty Prairie Conservancy is a nonprofit organization established in 1995.
Its mission is to preserve open land, restore natural areas and inspire a
commitment to land conservation for the benefit of people and wildlife
