If approved by the voters, referendum funds will be used to:
- Preserve approx. 250 acres of at-risk land in DuPage County
- Protect watersheds to improve the water quality of rivers, lakes and streams
- Purchase land to protect drinking water sources
- Improve air quality by planting trees
- Preserve and restore wildlife habitat
- Improve flood control
- Improve public safety
- Provide nature education for children
All of this for merely an additional $3-3.50 a month for the average homeowner ($11.67 per year per $100,000 of home market value).
The Forest Preserve District always has been and remains a great investment. And the DuPage Forest Preserve District will continue to be fully transparent with full public disclosures of how the funds are spent.
