Bill > SR0529

This resolution, originating from the Illinois Senate, congratulates Citizens for Conservation (CFC) on its 55th anniversary, recognizing its significant contributions to environmental preservation. CFC is a volunteer-driven nonprofit founded in 1971 with the mission of "Saving Living Space for Living Things," and over the past five and a half decades, it has been instrumental in protecting open spaces, restoring native ecosystems like prairies and wetlands, and educating the public about conservation in the Barrington area and surrounding counties. The resolution highlights CFC's pioneering restoration techniques, its role in collaborative initiatives such as the Barrington Greenways Initiative, its substantial donation of native seeds to partner groups, and its success in protecting 732 acres of habitat, reintroducing hundreds of native plant species, and engaging the community through educational programs and internships, all made possible by its dedicated volunteer base and unwavering commitment to land renewal.
