Northbrook and the Park District will be responsible for all mowing and vegetation reduction in the meadow, subject to the Forest Preserves’ approval of an annual vegetation maintenance plan. The site will be maintained at no cost to the Forest Preserves. The proposed work will mitigate growth of invasive species until more comprehensive restoration work can be conducted on the site, as funding allows. Final agreement is subject to legal review and approval.
