🏆 An award-winning partnership worth celebrating!

Last week, the Cary Park District and Friends of Illinois Nature Preserves (FOIP) were honored with the Illinois Association of Park Districts' Best of the Best Partnership Award!

Our Superintendent of Park & Facility Maintenance, Noah Mach, Park Board Commissioner Phil Stanko, and members of FOIP attended the awards gala to accept this recognition for our collaborative efforts to restore and protect Cary's precious prairie habitats.

Since our partnership began, volunteers have contributed more than 1,600 hours across 50+ workdays, helping restore approximately five acres of prairie habitat at Sands Main Street Prairie, Water Tower Prairie, and Hillside Prairie. 🌾

A huge thank you to FOIP, the Cary Prairie Stewards, and all the dedicated volunteers who have made this partnership such a success. Your passion for preserving our natural areas is making a lasting difference in our community!

Congratulations to everyone involved! 👏
