The Montgomery County Natural
Area Guardians (NAGs) will be holding their annual field workshop on Friday,
October 19, at 2 pm. This year’s
workshop will visit Bremer Sanctuary located just north of Hillsboro. Over the years the Illinois Audubon Society,
owner of the Bremer Sanctuary, has performed several conservation practices on
its 203 acre property aimed at conserving soil, water and wildlife. View and discuss these conservation
practices with staff members from the Montgomery County Soil and Water
Conservation District, Bremer Sanctuary and the Natural Area Guardians. Participants will be given guided tours to
view several dry pond structures, mature CRP fields, a bottomland hardwood tree
plantation that is ten years old, and other projects.
Meet at the barn parking lot
at the Bremer Sanctuary on Friday, October 19, at 2 pm. To get to the Bremer Sanctuary go ½ mile
north of Hillsboro on the North Road, make a left at the first road (Bremer
Lane), go past the house and follow the road until it reaches the barn.
Conservation Credits for
Certified Crop Advisers have been applied for again this year.
The goal of NAGs is to locate
and preserve natural areas and open spaces in Montgomery County. NAGs is affiliated with the Montgomery County
Soil and Water Conservation District.
