BCNnet friends;
Yesterday at the meeting of the commissioners of the Forest Preserve
District of Cook County, I gave BCN’s testimony endorsing the District’s
proposed strict Land Use Policy, which will reaffirm the core mission of the
forest preserves. Further, we indicated our great support for passage of
an ordinance that further strengthens the protection of the public lands.
Also at the meeting the following Resolution pertaining to BCN, recognizing
our work and us was passed unanimously by the Commissioners.
Congratulations to all, as all of your hard work made this possible.
Donnie
Donald R. Dann

Sponsored by
THE HONORABLE LARRY SUFFREDIN, FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICTCOMMISSIONER
In Recognition of the Work of the Bird Conservation Network
WHEREAS, The Bird Conservation Network was started in 1997 and works to help
protect and promote the conservation of birds and the habitats they need to
survive; and
WHEREAS, The Bird Conservation Network includes more than 40,000 individual
members and is a coalition of 19 bird clubs, Audubon groups, ornithological
societies, and other conservation organizations that work throughout Cook
County and regionally in the neighboring counties of Will, McHenry, DuPage,
Kane, Lake and Lake County Indiana, and
WHEREAS, Bird Conservation Network volunteers monitor bird populations, both
breeding and migratory, following established scientific protocols; and
WHEREAS, Volunteers trained by the Bird Conservation Network and its
coalition members are an important community resource, providing informed,
science based information on bird related issues to the public and private
landowners; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Bird Conservation Network recognize the
importance of education in seeking to protect birds and their habitats, they
regularly convene conferences and educational seminars for the public,
government agencies, and ornithological and environmental students and
professionals; and
WHEREAS, In addition to working with its 19 member organizations, the Bird
Conservation Network regularly partners with governmental and non-profit
agencies such as the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, Chicago Park District, Open Lands Project,
Sierra Club, Chicago Department of Environment, and Chicago Wilderness; and
WHEREAS, Although it has no paid staff, the Bird Conservation Network and
its members have made countless contributions to our local forest preserves,
parks, and regional ecosystems by their participation in activities such as
habitat restoration, consulting on issues such as bird friendly landscaping,
and helping to design and improve lakefront birding hotspots like the
Montrose Magic Hedge, Jarvis Bird Sanctuary, and Wooded Island in Jackson
Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOVLED, That the Board of Commissioners of the
Forest Preserve District of Cook County does here by recognize the work of
the Bird Conservation Network and thanks its members for their many
contributions to Cook County and our regional ecosystems; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a suitable copy of this resolution be tendered
