Sgt. Tommy's Kids Fishing Day 2024
Mike Clifford replied to Mike Clifford's topic in Conservation & Volunteer Opportunities
I'm seeing now the event starts at 9 a.m. this year. See you around 8! -
Mike Clifford started following Illinois’ 2023 Enviro Legislative Priorities , Sgt. Tommy's Kids Fishing Day 2024 , ISA GRANTS and 4 others

The meeting is Jan. 10th. It will likely be a comprehensive, very expensive endeavor with regulations and such. Just kind of excited to possibly get involved in "something" resembling conservation. But it isn't conservation. Just so happens to be walking distance from me. But hey....public access!!!

I'm curious to know if the ISA still does conservation grants. Riverfront Park on the Kankakee River is getting a Master Plan in motion in January with a community meeting. Among the plans is a public kayak launch. Back in the day, this is the sort of thing we contributed to. Not petitioning for funds, just saying I'll be at all the meetings. 😁

Looks like we have 6 so far. -
The annual event will take place this year on: Saturday, June 17th at Herrick Lake in Wheaton. As usual, the ISA will provide volunteers for the Casting Field. Please plan on arriving around 7:30 for set-up. The activities run from 9-12. If you know of kids that would like to attend, sign-up is activated: http://www.sgttommyskids.org I look forward to seeing you there!

Recipient of the ISA Youth Appreciation Award in 2013. Craig was a diligent volunteer in the club. A regular in the casting field for many years and countless conservation events. The woman in the photo is Susan Alexander, who carved the award.

Did I miss an announcement on Craig Holderness passing? Found an old article, and he has not logged into the ISA site since Sept. 2021. Asked about him at Sgt. Tommy's event last year, and only learned that he had been sick. 😥

Good thing Google steers us toward the ISA site when typing in what you guys kept saying.....Illinoismallmouth.net 😉

Because the current governor has zero concern for these matters. Not too long ago, the IDNR would have not only been on board, but pushed hard for it. J.B. would rather have all of his "yes people" running it, rather than qualified individuals with experience in natural resource management. Makes it easier to divert dedicated sportsman dollars into his general slush fund.

Very interesting. Hope this passes. Protecting Homeowners from Animal Waste – SB2161 (Koehler) – Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) produce significant amounts of waste and environmental nuisances for surrounding homeowners. Currently, if a local county board votes against an application for a new or expanding CAFO, the Illinois Department of Agriculture can still approve that permit. This bill would make a county recommendation binding.
