“GREEN VOICE!” MEETING GIVES VOICE TO LOCAL CONCERNS
Harvard area residents invited to share ideas, concerns at environmental “chat session”

Development, water resources, and the protection of open space and farmland are just a few of the issues to be discussed at the Defenders’ “Green Voice!” meeting set for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 20 at the Harvard Diggins Library, 900 East McKinley Street in Harvard, IL. Area residents and local officials are invited to take part in this informal “brainstorming” session about environmental issues in their community. The event is hosted by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County (EDMC). Admission is free and refreshments will be served.

“Protecting our resources is a priority throughout the county, but each community has different issues and needs,” said Nancy Scheitzelt, president of the Environmental Defenders. “By meeting with local residents, we can learn what they are concerned about, and how the Defenders can help them address those issues.”
Green Voice! meetings follow an informal workshop format where local residents are encouraged to discuss environmental concerns in their community, and suggest possible solutions that could be pursued. The meetings are free and open to the public. For details, contact the Defenders' office at (815) 338-0393 or visit.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a volunteer-based, 501c3 not-for-profit organization with headquarters in Woodstock since 1970, the group has worked to protect and preserve the natural environment, open space, soil and water resources in the McHenry County area.
