  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

Illinois Forest Areas increased by 40 percent since 1962, a reversal of the trend from 1948 to 1962. The volume of elms has continued to decrease due to Dutch elm disease, but red and white oaks, along with black walnut, have increased by 38 to 54 percent since 1962. The area of forest land in Illinois is approximately 5.3 million acres and represents 15% of the total land area of the state (Figure 1). Illinois’ forests are predominately hardwoods, with 90% of the total timberland area classified as hardwood forest types (Figure 2). The primary hardwood forest types in the state are oak- hickory, at 65% of all timberland, elm-ash-cottonwood at 23%, and maple-beech which covers 2% of Illinois’ timberland. 1 MERALD ASH BORER (EAB) TRAP TREE MONITORING PROGAM With the recent (2006) find ofMajor emerald ashForest borer (EAB) Types in northeastern Illinois and sub- sequent finds throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan area, and as far south as Bloomington/Chenoa, Illinois area, prudence strongly suggests that EAB monitoring is needed for the extensive ash containing forested areas associated with Illinois state parks, F U.S.

  • The White Barn a Transverse-Frame/Crib Barn Located at Trail-Of-Tears State Forest, Union County, Illinois
    NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES ASSESSMENT OF THE WHITE BARN A TRANSVERSE-FRAME/CRIB BARN LOCATED AT TRAIL-OF-TEARS STATE FOREST, UNION COUNTY, ILLINOIS by: Christopher Stratton Fever River Research Springfield, Illinois Floyd Mansberger Principal Investigator prepared for: Illinois Department of Natural Resources Springfield, Illinois July 2000 INTRODUCTION This report details the results of a National Register of Historic Places assessment conducted by Fever River Research on a gambrel-roofed, transverse-frame barn located at Trail of Tears State Forest in western Union County, Illinois (see Figure 1). Referred to as the “White Barn”, this structure is the only extant building that remains in situ1 at the site of a farmstead that operated during the period ca. 1870-1929. The barn itself was constructed during the early twentieth century and thus dates to the later stage of the farm’s operation. The investigation of the White Barn was requested by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and involved the following tasks: 1) documentary research on the barn and associated land; 2) a physical examination of the structure in order to assess its age, evolution, and integrity; and 3) a windshield survey of comparative barns in the surrounding area –all of which was necessary to assess the barn’s potential National Register of Historic Places eligibility. The area of Union County in which the barn is located is an extension of the rugged Ozark Hills, a region that is characterized by steep, heavily dissected ridges, narrow hollows, and thick forests. The ridges rise 300 to 400 feet above the wide Mississippi River floodplain, which borders them to the west.
