Come Join in the Celebration

 

 

 

VICTORY RALLY

TO CELEBRATE

THE SAVING OF

PLUM ISLAND

 

 

 

Come celebrate the grassroots victory to protect Plum Island from the

developer’s bulldozer!

 

Join Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn, Sen. Pat Welch,

Friends of Plum Island, Illinois Audubon Society, Sierra Club, Joseph Standing

Bear, “Deshka†the eagle and others

 

 

The ill-conceived plan by an out-of-town developer to turn our beloved

Plum Island into a condominium village and marina has been stopped. The threat

to the eagle roosts and Native American burial sites there has been eliminated

forever thanks to the purchase of Plum Island by Illinois Audubon Society with

funding provided by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Fund.

 

The victory is due to the relentless efforts of dozens of groups and

agencies, and thousands of people who signed petitions, wrote letters and kept

the pressure on. Come celebrate a victory for conservation, eagles and

eagle-watchers, Native Americans and grassroots action!

 

WHEN: Sunday, March 28, 2003
