Apple River) The Eagle Nature Foundation has just received a new load of shrubs and perennials and now has almost 110 varieties available for the public to view at its headquarters at 300 East Hickory Street, right on Stagecoach Trail at the East edge of Apple River. This includes 26 new varieties which we had never had before. They are beautiful plants that will add beauty to any yard.

These plants came courtesy of Beaver Creek Nursery, near Popular Grove, IL and Song Sparrow Nursery near Avon, WI and Roy and Sarah Klehm. These plants may be examined during daylight hours any day of the week, and are on a self serve basis. The price for each variety of plants is marked on an identification sign by each variety. An envelope with sheets containing further descriptions of all the plants that are presently in the yard is located on the porch. Money for any plants that are removed should be placed in the money box on the porch.

The money from these plants is used by ENF for its work to save the bald eagle and its environmental education programs. ENF is the main organization in the nation that is working to determine what may be affecting the bald eagle reproduction, but needs money to carry out this effort. ENF is presently planning to expand its environmental education programs to help develop an better awareness of the natural world to students and adults in northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. An extra donation for this cause, or for a membership, may be left in the money box, when depositing the money for any plants. ENF is an environmental 501(c)3 organization, so any money donated may be considered tax exempt on a person's taxes. For any questions, call 815-594-2306.
