“This project is a perfect example of how the district can create wildlife habitat and new opportunities for recreation by retiring farmland. Archery is a growing sport and we plan to provide a course that caters to all skill levels and bow types,” said Landscape Architect Zach Tegge.

District staff will be available to answer questions at the meeting. The Natural Resource Management facility is located within Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve at 2N253 Brundige Road, Elburn.

For directions to the meeting location, or other questions, please call the Forest Preserve District of Kane County Administrative Headquarters office at 630-232-5980.
