Summary
The US project will support the restoration of approximately 425 acres in Bogus Run, a waterway that feeds into the Kankakee River. Set to be completed in collaboration with the Shirley Heinze Land Trust at its “Big Eastern” property, the initiative will focus on restoring native sand prairie and woodland habitats through long-term land stewardship. Planned activities at the site include invasive vegetation management across approximately 325 acres, selective woodland restoration across 200 acres, and the establishment of 30 acres of native sand prairie. The companies claim that the restoration will also help slow surface runoff, improve soil stability, and encourage more natural infiltration of water back into the ground.
