Choose from: Sh«w Ffm Pmt Nnm»0«r Group The packet sale is aimed at mitigating habitat loss, cited by wildlife resource managers as the primary reason for wildlife's declin&r--Reversal of this downward trend in bird and animal populations will require extensive restoration of habitat, and much of the restoration and redevelopment in Illinois must be done on private land. Because habitat restoration or redevelopment do not require large land areas and can be accomplished on small tracts not suitable for other purposes, the small packets of seedlings are effective. If the seedling groups, formulated to appeal to animals and birds, are planted near water, the habitat will be relatively complete and almost certainly will attract wildlife permanently. According to State Forester A1 Michelson, the packet sale also provides sportsmen with a good means of showing appreciation to the private land owners who open their propertiea to hunting, fishing and other recreational uses. "Why not buy a packet in the landowner's name, " he suggests. Planting the seedlings with the help of fellow sport­ smen can produce an enjoyable weekend recreational ex­ perience for everyone involved in the project while they, the recipient and wildlife, all gain, Mickelson added.
