Community Spotlight
Pollinator Seed Packets
The City of Crystal Lake has provided pollinator seed packets at community events throughout 2022. Specifically, butterfly weed packets have been provided to promote the Monarch Butterfly habitat and to encourage pollinator planting.
Invasive Species Treated
The City's ecological contractor continued to treat invasive species at the City-owned Three Oaks Recreation Area and various native gardens owned by the City of Crystal Lake. Invasive willows were treated and removed from the park in 2022.
Public Communication Efforts
The City of Crystal Lake has created a special web page on the City's website for the Mayors' Monarch Pledge. This is in addition to web pages that highlight green initiatives in the City.
