| Directional Signs: After finding that Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve was challenging to navigate without getting lost, I initiated new signage for Waterfall Glen. Waterfall Glen was a pilot project, and because the signs were found to be very helpful, they are now being used in the other forest preserves in DuPage County.

Improved communication to local residents about Forest Preserve events: I send out informative emails to keep you up to date on programs and events happening in the DuPage County Forest Preserves. Many viewers have had the opportunity to participate in forest preserve activities because of my emails. I respect your email and consider it a privilege to be able to keep you up to date on the preserves.
