In advance of the Board of Commissioners consideration to accept the proposed Jubilee Point Park Natural Area Improvement Plan (“Plan”), the District received letters of support of the Plan subsequent to peer review by The Conservation Foundation and Great Lakes Urban Forestry Management.
The Conservation Foundation President /CEO Brook McDonald stated, “While the initial non-native tree and shrub removal may result in a very dramatic visual change, the plan to reintroduce native plants and trees will support a more diverse, dynamic, healthy and balanced natural area.”
Stephen Lane, Certified Arborist with Great Lakes Urban Forestry Management stated, “I fully support this project as it is currently planned and believe it will provide ecological enhancement to the area, which will attract beneficial wildlife and birds, and also be a sanctuary for people to learn about and enjoy nature.”
The Board of Commissioners will consider: 1) acceptance of the Plan and 2) acceptance of the low qualified bidder & contract approval of the Town Centre Park – Woody Invasive Species Removal Project, MSP #23-22c (to be released pending receipt of the Village of Woodridge’s Letter of Permission for Vegetative Maintenance Permit) at tonight’s Regular Board Meeting, January 16, 2024 @ 6:30 p.m.
