| PARTNERS
The strength of this project is the collaborative nature
of the numerous partners involved. Our partners
are various government entities and other organizations
working on conservation issues throughout Kendall County.
Because so many of the municipalities, government organizations,
and community groups have addressed the need for open
space in their planning, this project furthers existing
conservation and land use plans. For more info download Natural
