The Rock Island County Forest Preserve District has identified FORC as a key partner and is seeking our input on how to improve the properties they manage (Illiniwek, Dorrance, Loud Thunder). They are looking to have a dozen or so FORC members present for a 1-1.5 hour focus group type meeting on Thurs. 8/24 at 5:30pm in the large shelter at the Illiniwek campground.

We also discussed having a pre-meeting brainstorm session at the last membership meeting and there was some interest. If the interest still exists, I'll tentatively schedule this at Front Street Freight House on Wed. 8/23 at 6:30pm. Let me know if that works and if you plan on attending.
