Watershed Stewardship in Action
The City recently partnered with the University of Illinois Extension to host a Watershed Soft Landing Kit Workshop at the Water Treatment Plant as part of the Watershed Stewards Program.
This hands-on session focused on preparing lawns for Soft Landing Kits, including sod removal methods and site preparation to help ensure successful installation.
We appreciate the continued collaboration with the U of I Extension Center and Coles County Soil and Water Conservation District and the opportunity to support residents in protecting water quality and strengthening our local watershed.
