At their June 20 meeting, the Lake County Forest Preserve Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of 10.5 acres in Round Lake for $540,000 as an addition to Marl Flat Forest Preserve. The parcel provides for a key trail link for the planned 35-mile Millennium Trail.
The tract features woodlands dominated by bur oaks and wetlands. Proper restoration could revitalize the woodlands and enhance wildlife habitat throughout the Preserve.
Acreage and purchase price were approved at the June 20, 2003 meeting. Actual acreage and cost may vary slightly at closing. |
