McHenry County voters approved a $68.5 million bond referendum that will provide the McHenry County Conservation District (MCCD) with additional funds for land acquisition.

Lands targeted for acquisition include sites within the Nippersink Creek and Kishwaukee River watersheds.

The MCCD Board of Trustees will designate up to 10 percent of the $68.5 million for site improvements, including restoration projects, upgrades for visitors with disabilities, and trail additions and/or improvements.
