Planning processes are underway for the watersheds of Sleepy Hollow Creek and Silver Creek located in the eastern half of McHenry County. The goal is to preserve these areas, which are the home to significant natural resources including dedicated Illinois Nature Preserves, rare fens, and several lakes enjoyed by community members as a source of recreation.
Community members gathered for the first planning session held the end of October. Community members gathered to discuss opportunities to address water resource protections in eastern McHenry County. Another meeting for community members is scheduled 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 1 in the Prairie Grove Village Hall, 3125 Barreville Road, Prairie Grove.
The goal is to develop a watershed plan for each watershed. This watershed planning provides opportunities for community members from various jurisdictions to work together on preserving a share resource. This is under the guidance of Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.
