Lake View Nature Center may be CLOSING its doors!

Why: Our off-track betting funding has been eliminated in Springfield from the 2008 State Budget.
Please help support Lake View Nature Center by sending a petition to local legislators to override the veto of budget cuts. By assisting us, we can continue our environmental education to increase awareness and appreciation for the natural world.

Thank You,

The Staff and Animals

Petition Letter
Letter will go to Representative Sandra Pihos and Senator Dan Cronin

Dear Representative,

I am contacting you to let you know how important the $3,000,000 funding in the budget from a local off-track betting is for the Oakbrook Terrace Park District.

If we do not have this funding restored, we will have to shut down the Lake View Nature Center and dramatically cut back on operations and programs through our recreation department.

This may mean that the 18,000 visitors the Lake View Nature Center accommodated last year will not be able to return.

Please understand the power of your vote on our local area. We respectfully request that you vote to support a veto override to restore this vital funding.

As always, we appreciate the work you do for us in Springfield, and we hope you will help us on this important issue.

Sincerely,
