  • “Bayles Lake Natural Habituate Area”
    Bayles Lake Natural Habitat Area Bayles Lake Natural Habitat Area BAYLES LAKE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION P.O. BOX 38 LODA, ILLINOIS 60948 April 2010 “Bayles Lake Natural Habitat Area” The Lakes and Park Committee and the Bayles Lake Homeowners Association Board of Directors has designated the south shore of the south lake of Bayles Lake as a Natural Habitat Area. This area extends from the Lakeview Country Club driveway on the east side and follows the natural waterline and the easement, which varies in width, along the natural shoreline, all the way to the boat dock at Thompson Park on the west side. With support from BLHOA BOD and Lakeview Country Club Board of Directors and recommendations from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Iroquois County Soil and Water Conservation District and Integrated Lakes Management, implementing this area will benefit all of us. We should qualify, through the DNR, The Illinois Wildlife Action Plan: “Defining a Vision for Conservation Success” or through their “Illinois: Acres for Wildlife” programs. We are also exploring what kind of programs the ICSWCD might have available. Cost will be minimal with signage being the biggest expense and will be phased in as our budget allows. Developing this area protects Bayles Lake, the lake shoreline and lake bank, the natural nesting and shelter areas for some of the wildlife at Bayles Lake and with some mowing, maintenance, controlling invasive plants and promoting the native plant population and its growth. It is posted with the appropriate park type signage, “Bayles Lake Natural Habitat Area”. This plan is consistent with the DNR recommendation, using the south shore of the south lake, because of its silt condition, to try and establish a Bass Fishery.
