Salt Fork River/Jordan Creek LCF Land Acquisition
LCF is now raising funds to purchase almost 15 acres at the confluence of the Salt Fork River of the Vermilion River and Jordan Creek in Vermilion County, both of which are on the Illinois Natural Areas Inventory (INAI). This land is indeed a pearl in a string of pearls – and worthy of protection.

Two rows of native bur oak trees and a wooden footbridge will welcome hikers and improve access to our Bruce Hannon Levee Trail.
