State Level UMRS Restoration Work

Project Goals:

PRN will work on several goals at the state level with the priorities revolving around organizing and restoration funding. If there is time we will expand the effort into flood plain restoration. Specifically, these goals are described below:

• Organizing Illinois environmental groups to focus upon river restoration efforts and related issues.

• Working to increase local and state funding of river restoration efforts required to meet at least minimum state cost sharing responsibilities.
