From the Paper:

"In 1995, a Public Act 89 to 49 was signed for the purpose of the creation of the Conservation 2000 Fund for the protection and conservation of the natural resources of the state of Illinois through the establishment of a partnership between the state government and the various public and private landowners of Illinois. By the year 2002, the children of the state of Illinois had come to be involved in the different programs being organized by the IAPD, and there was a widespread response and a positive reaction to the issue of conservation, a lot of good feelings generated towards the cause of the Illinois Department of Conservation, otherwise known as the Department of Natural Resources, renamed in 1995.
