President Hoscheit thanked and congratulated Director Stanish and his staff for all their hard work on the audit. CHICAGO WILDERNESS 2013 EXCELLENCE IN ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION ACCREDITATION. Director Ullberg presented the District with the newly-launched Excellence in Ecological Restoration Program, which was developed to recognize high-quality restoration sites and the organizations that manage them. Organizations conduct comprehensive selfassessments of their adaptive management programs and the quality of the natural areas being accredited. The program uses rigorous professional standards of excellence in natural resource management and ecological restoration, based on the Chicago Wilderness biodiversity Recovery Plan, to recognize best practices in natural resource management. The Chicago Wilderness Commission on Excellence in Ecological Restoration reviews the assessments and determines the level of site certification.

2 The District received the Gold Accreditation for the Dick Young Forest Preserve with 1,288 acres; Dick Young Forest Preserve contains one of the most ecologically important natural areas in the region, and includes the most botanically diverse marsh areas, sedge meadow, fen and tallgrass prairie in Kane County. Its extraordinary Nelson Lake Marsh is a product of a late melting ice mass from the last retracting glaciers. Its geology allows an abundant and complex source of water to persist; what thwarted early pioneer attempts to drain the area for agriculture serves to preserve significant remnants of the original habitats managed by the Forest Preserve District today. The Dick Young Forest Preserve is a critical site for waterfowl, shrubland and grassland birds, and supports more than 300 bird species in total. These include rare and threatened migratory species such as American pelican, canvasback, northern harrier, Henslow s sparrow, and osprey. Named in honor of one of the county s long-time environmental advocates and two-time Iwo Jima Purple Heart recipient, the preserve is also the restoration focus of the Veteran s Conservation Corps. President Hoscheit thanked Director Ullberg and his staff for the vision and work on this 20+ year project and for restoring the land for future generations.
