Tour the Issert Family Farm Aug. 14
The Will-South Cook Soil and Water Conservation District will be hosting a tour of the Issert Family Farm in Wilmington on Wednesday, Aug. 14.
The Issert Family Farm, operated by Steve Issert, received this year’s Conservation Farm Family Award from the district. The farmstead includes traditional row crops, as well as over 100 acres of woodlands.
In 2014, the farm was designated as a Will County Historic Landmark. The tour will provide an opportunity to learn about conservation practices such as wetlands and ponds, terraces, waterways, and woodland management.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 12 noon, with lunch included. The farm is located at 21204 Ballou Road in Wilmington.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to the district office at (815) 462-3106 ext. 3 or [email protected] by Friday Aug. 9, to reserve your spot.
