BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 17

T h e law requires the approval of the Illinois N a t u r e Preserves Commission and the State of Illinois Department of Conservation for the dedications but such approvals were not forthcoming. After further negotiations with the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission, the State of Illinois Department of Conservation, and the Illinois Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, from whom the University acquired title, it has been determined that with respect to Volo Bog and Wauconda Bog the following actions be recommended: a. That The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois dedicate both Volo Bog and Wauconda Bog as nature preserves in perpetuity and without qualification. b . That concurrently The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois join in an instrument with the Nature Conservancy conveying title to the premises to the State of Illinois Department of Conservation, subject to the reverter rights presently held by the Nature Conservancy under the terms of the deed from the Nature Conservancy to The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Vice President and Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute Articles of Dedication and conveyances of title to these properties as outlined above.
