Starved Rock State Park has a Visitor’s Center with no
Interpreter
IDNR has lost many key scientific staff including its Turkey
Biologist, and staff to the Endangered Species Protection
Board, and have not been able to replace them.
Illinois Beach, the most-visited site of the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, has had its staff
reduced from 21 to 7, not adequate to accommodate the
two million visitors annually to the site. Illinois Beach, for
instance, had two Site Interpreters several years ago and
now has none.
The number of Site Security Officers at IDNR parks has
been cut almost in half.

“The Department of Conservation differs from most
State agencies because its constituents generate a
substantial proportion of annual revenues through
fees and in that it is responsible for preserving and
managing natural resources which require longterm stewardship.” “Natural resource conservation
and outdoor recreation opportunities cost more in
Illinois than in other states. Illinois’ natural
resources are scarce and land costs are higher.”
“Stable, long-term funding is critical to protecting
this sizable public investment.”
