KEEP COUNTY GREEN "Editor: "Unless we want McHenry county to become almost completely covered from boundary to boundary with concrete and asphalt, we must act now. Undeveloped land is going fast; and once lost it is very difficult, if not impossible, to reclaim > "A Conservation district for McHenry county would enable us to purchase and hold un­ developed lands for present and future needs. The Northeastern Illinois Planning commission reports that we now have about 1,000 acres of public lands, including public golf courses; they recommend we have 5,000 acres by 1975, and 11,000 acres by 1995, based on projected population increases. "The southeastern area of our county is feeling the most Citizens Group Meets On Conservation Vote The citizens of McHenry county will be given the op­ portunity to vote on a con­ servation district referendum at the township elections April 6. Recently, a citizens' com­ mittee of people from Wood­ stock, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Lake-in-the Hills, McHenry and Harvard met to begin making plans to help pass the referen­ dum. Also in attendance at the meeting was Roger Gustafson, naturalist for the Boone County Conservation district. Gustafson told how the Boone County district is set up, its progress and success, and his job with the district. The Illinois Conservation District act, which was ap­ proved in August 1963, provides a means whereby a local territory (a county) can organize to take care of its open space preservation and outdoor recreation needs. The principal purpose of the district, ac­ cording to the law, is to "preserve and maintain wild land, other open land, scenic roadways and pathways; hold such real property, with or without public access, for the education, pleasure and recreation of the public or for other open space values; preserve portions thereof in their natural condition and undertake development of other portions thereof; manage and use such real property in such manner and with such restrictions as will leave it unimpaired for the benefit of future generations, and otherwise promote the con­ servation of nature, flora and fauna, natural environment and natural resources of the district." The district is managed by a board of trustees who must be residents of the county. These five men are appointed by the chairman of the county board of supervisors for five-year terms. The county board must consent to the appointments and each nominee will only be selected on the basis of their demonstrated interest in the purposes of conservation districts. A trustee may also be removed from office for cause by the chairman of the county board of supervisors with the consent of the supervisors. These trustees serve without pay, but may be reimbursed "their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the WATER-WELLS PUMPS o RED JACKET 1 1 1 1 1 McHENRY COUNTY WELL & PUMP CO. 385-5252-Res. 3854)713 4913 W. McCullom Lk. Rd. McHenry b performance of their official duties." The law further states that the district must work closely with the'State Department of Conservation and all their plans for acquisition and-or the development of real property must be submitted to and ap­ proved in writing by the Department of Conservation. The taxes per year for such a district are $.10 per $100 assessed valuation, $1 per $1,000 assessed valuation and $10 per year per $10,000 assessed valuation. The last figure breaks down to a total of $.02.7 cents per day. Under the conservation district law, the terms "open land" or "open space" mean "any space or area of land or water the preservation or the restriction of development or use of which would maintain or enhance the conservation of natural or scenic resources; protect natural streams or water supplies; promote conservation of soils, or wetlands; afford or enhance public outdoor recreation; preserve flora and fauna, geological features, historic sites or other areas of educational or scientific in­ terest; implement the plan of development adopted by the planning commissions of any municipality or promote or­ derly urban or suburban development." population pressure; it is here that the greatest need exists for acquiring wild or undeveloped lands, while such lands are still available. "The Conservation District act provides great flexibility for acquiring lands of varied types, for a wide variety of uses. The land does not have to be improved for recreation; it need not even have public access. "Urgently needed are green belts around municipalities to , prevent urban sprawl, and to provide sites for proper disposal of wastes; to preserve and promote the best use of natural resources; to preserve unique geological, historic, and scientific sites (for example, Boone County's Conservation district recently purchased ten acres of relatively undisturbed natural prairie for study use); to provide land areas where water can be absorbed back into the earth to replenish underground supplies; to retain green vegetation which takes ,*up carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the atmosphere (one of nature's methods of purifying the air); and to provide recreational areas, including hiking and biking trails, for a larger population with shorter work weeks. "By passing the Con­ servation district referendum on April 6, we can begin realizing some of these goals. "Mrs. James Hecht "9335 Bull Valley Rd.
