Conservation District Suspends Programs for January

Jan 4, 2021 | 5:43 AM

January 4, 2021 – The Macon County Conservation District continues to exercise caution to help control the spread of COVID-19.  The Illinois Department of Public Health is asking people to stay home as much as possible and avoid group gatherings and travel.

Because IDPH does not advise even small gatherings of mixed households at this time, Rock Springs Nature Center will be temporarily closed to the public until further notice. In addition, in-person programs and events will be suspended through January. Mini Camp Nature Kits are still available for curbside pick-up, and virtual programs are coming up this winter.

All Conservation Areas (Rock Springs Conservation Area, Fort Daniel Conservation Area, Sand Creek Conservation Area, Friends Creek Conservation Area, and Griswold Conservation Area) remain open for hiking, walking, and nature exploration.
