Two recent projects at Rock Springs are completed and open for the public to enjoy.

Rock Springs Nature Center executive director Richie Wolf, indicates the bridges on the bike path have been renovated and are now passable. He notes they may be closed soon to add finishing touches.

Another project that was completed was the tying of two smaller ponds into one larger pond. Wolf says they are letting the pond fill up naturally and is open for public use.

A large-scale project is in the works for Rock Springs Nature Center in 2020. To learn more about Rock Springs, visit maconcountyconservation.org or call (217) 423-7708.
