Samuel and Edna Hill Preservation Site

In July 2019 MRCP was able to purchase a 92 acre track of land in Dixon, IL from the Harden/Hill family.

With donations and help from dear supporters, we purchased the $300,000 “Dream machine” — the Fecon FTX200 forestry mower. The mower is a game changer that will clear invasive brush across all our natural areas in Lee and Ogle Counties.
