The program’s multiple objectives were (1) teach the sport of fishing to all age demographics, (2) enhance fishing opportunities in densely populated urban landscapes, and (3) seek to instill an appreciation and understanding of natural resources. In 1994, the program was expanded state-wide and now primarily consists of the following three components • Free summer fishing clinics that include fishing at nearby stocked lagoons • School fishing and non-fishing education programs • Fishing and education programs at scout and 4-H camps, city and state parks, church camps, etc. During CY ‘19 fish were stocked at 45 sites. Summer fishing clinics were regularly held at 8 Chicago locations and 28 sites in Northwestern, Central and Southern Illinois (see tables below). -
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. -
The Grand Prairie
A PUBLICATION OF OPENLANDS VOLUME 26–No. 1, SPRING/SUMMER 2021 The Grand Prairie There are very few written accounts of the Grand Prairie from which Illinois gets its nickname, “The Prairie State,” and even fewer in art. An elusive landscape to most 19 th century artists, prairies lacked the traditional composition elements artists relied on at the time, such as trees to frame the foreground or mountains in the background. The artists moved on to capture the Rockies, Yosemite, and the great American West. In 1820, Illinois had 22 million acres of prairie, roughly two thirds of the state. By 1900, most of Illinois‘ prairies were gone. The movement of four glaciers gave rise to the prairie ecosystems of Illinois. of motivated individuals and nonprofit and governmental organizations, even When early settlers discovered the prairie’s rich soil, they quickly converted a those fragments would be gone. majority of the state to farmland. Through the bounty of nature, Chicago — Philip Juras, Picturing the Prairie: A Vision of Restoration became a great metropolis. By 1978, fewer than 2,300 acres — roughly three and a half square miles—of original prairie remained in the entire state. Goose Lake Prairie is the largest remnant tallgrass prairie east of the Mississippi Of those undisturbed prairie sites, known as remnant prairie, most are along River. Like much of the original prairie in the state, Goose Lake Prairie was sculpted railroad rights-of-way, in pioneer-era cemeteries, and in places that were not by glaciers. The area was part of a continuous grassland that stretched from suitable for farming. -
