In case folks weren't aware, I thought I should let you know that the city of Woodstock has tentative plans for an extensive development that could threaten the integrity of the North Branch (and destroy a large tract of 200-year old oak trees.) A petition to halt the development has just been launched. Here is a link:

Save the Kishwaukee River and 200+ year old oak trees

I hope you can take a moment or two to look over the document and (if you approve), attach your signature. Please feel free to distribute the petition to whomever you think might be interested. Many thanks for your consideration.
