| Other | IN CONTINUING OUR QUEST TO IMPROVE THE CLEANLINESS AND QUALITY OF OUR NATIONS RIVERS WHILE ENGAGING CITIZENS IN THE PROCESS. LIVING LANDS & WATERS HAS REMOVED OVER 14 MILLION POUNDS OF DEBRIS THAT HAD BEEN IMPAIRING FISH, BIRD, AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AND POLUTING OUR WATERS.

OUR MISSION IS TO NOT ONLY CLEAN UP THE RIVERWAYS, BUT TO ALSO ENHANCE THE WATERSHED BY PLANTING NATIVE TREES AND REMOVING INVASIVE PLANTS. PROJECT GOALS ARE TO RE-ESTABLISH NATIVE, NUT-BEARING, HARDWOOD TREES ALONG WATERWAYS AND WITHIN COMMUNITIES, PROVIDE SHELTER AND A VIABLE FOOD SOURCE FOR WILDLIFE AND MIGRATORY BIRDS, INCREASE BIODIVERSITY, HELP REDUCE EROSION AND RUN-OFF, IMPROVE WATER AND AIR QUALITY AND CREATE AN AWARENESS REGARDING THE VALUE OF PLANTING NATIVE HARDWOODS. THE LARGEST LAND RESTORATION PROJECT IN IDOT HISTORY TOTALING 28 ACRES, THE I-80 RESTORATION PROJECT FOCUSES ON RESTORING TWO TRACKS OF LAND INTO A NATIVE PRAIRIE. THIS HIGHLY VISIBLE PROPERTY IS SITUATED WHERE INTERSTATE 80 CROSSES THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN ILLINOIS AND CAN BE VIEWED FROM THE ILLINOIS WELCOME CENTER, WHICH OVERLOOKS THE BEAUTIFUL MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. NOT ONLY THAT, NEARLY 200 YEARS AGO, ILLINOIS USED TO BE 60% PRAIRIE. OF THE NEARLY 22 MILLION ACRES OF PRAIRIE THAT WAS IN THE STATE IN THE 1820S, ONLY .01% IS LEFT TODAY. THIS DECREASE IN PRAIRIE HAS RESULTED IN HABITAT LOSS FOR NATIVE ANIMALS SUCH AS BISON, DEER, BIRDS AND MANY MORE. RESTORING THIS PARCEL OF LAND TO ITS NATIVE LANDSCAPE WILL PROVIDE COUNTLESS BENEFITS TO THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM AND RAISE AWARENESS AMONG THE PUBLIC OF THIS ENDANGERED ECOSYSTEM. |
