<DIV>Chris Oszak sent me this information recently about the choice of possible projects that could be used for mitigation for filling wetlands at O'Hare Airport.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>On quick review, I am familiar with the property in Tinley Creek, south of Bartel Grasslands (I birded some of this area during the Illinois Breeding Bird Atlas and it has possibilities) and hope that Carolyn Fields might be able to see what benefits to Deer Grove FP habitat since she is familiar with that area (it's also the only area of those mentioned in Cook Co.).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope others on the BCN listserv will look at some of the proposals also.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
