Rock Springs Nature Center Expanding Pond Thanks to Grant

Rock Springs Nature Center is taking on a couple of larger projects this summer thanks to some grants that came through.

 

Richie Wolf says the Clean Energy Foundation is funding repairs on three bridges along their bike path. He says that will leave portions of the path closed this fall.

 

 

The Department of Natural Resources is funding an expansion of their pond. Wolf says this will improve access with a couple of paths and a canoe and kayak launch site. He says that the project should be underway soon.

 

 

The grant funding was made available thanks to the State of Illinois opening those opportunities with the new budget. Both sites are very popular among their guests and Wolf says while the projects will be an inconvenience, he views them as improving the park experience.
