Herrick Lake Forest Preserve Master Plan
Project Purpose
The development of individual forest preserve master plans was identified as an important initiative in the 2019 districtwide master plan. Master plans for each preserve will improve the quality of future projects and ensure support from the public, the District’s board of commissioners, and staff. The plans will also increase grant opportunities, assist with the budget process, and help prioritize and phase potential work.
The Herrick Lake master plan, a document featuring graphic plans and cost estimates for proposed improvements, will help guide future project development, although it should not be considered a final for all construction plans.
