The Landscaping at the Lake County Forest Preserves Offices is Upgraded

The Landscaping at the Lake County Forest Preserves Offices is Upgraded

The Landscaping at the Lake County Forest Preserves Offices is Upgraded. Thanks to a steadfast supporter, the Lake County Forest Preserves recently improved the landscaping around its General Offices and the Dunn Museum in Libertyville.

An invasive species called Callery pear trees will be removed from the General Offices, 1899 W. Winchester Road, thanks to a recent donation of $15,000 from Valent BioSciences, whose headquarters and Biorational Research Center are both located in Libertyville. Native species like oak and hickory replaced the invasive trees.

Valent BioSciences is a market leader in the discovery, commercialization, and production of biorational products and technology utilised in the forestry, public health, and agriculture sectors, thanks to its significant global presence.

Valent BioSciences donated to the Preservation Foundation, the Lake County Forest Preserves’ charity partner. The Forest Preserves’ countywide natural resource management techniques are in line with the removal of the trees, which are also present in the preserves.

The Lake County Forest Preserves’ president, Angelo Kyle, said, “We are appreciative of Valent BioSciences’ cooperation as we endeavour to eliminate this invasive plant from our corporate site, a critical priority in the Forest Preserves’ 100-year Vision for Lake County.

“Restoration is at the heart of our purpose, and through replacing these trees, we hope to set an example for others. We want to inform and motivate other businesses to recognise the Callery pear’s risk to Lake County’s natural areas and eliminate it from their corporate campuses.

From an environmental standpoint, Salman Mir, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Valent BioSciences, said, “both of our organisations have much in common.”

“We are dedicated to sustainability outside of Libertyville. Our manufacturing location in Osage, Iowa, is next to a 34-acre native prairie restoration project with a rich diversity of plant life. We are also installing a solar field to supply 8% of the plant’s annual energy needs.

The Callery pear, commonly referred to as the Bradford pear, is an invasive ornamental tree brought from eastern Asia to the area for beautification. Cross-pollination has produced viable seeds even though the parent cultivars were engineered to be sterile.

The plant’s fruits, which resemble little apples, are readily consumed by birds, who also spread the seeds in their excrement. Unfortunately, the callery pear has invaded numerous habitats, including natural areas, and has spread rapidly.

At the General Offices, native shrubs and trees, especially oaks, have taken the place of the exotic trees. A crucial species in the Chicago region is the oak. They provide food, shelter, camouflage, and reproduction for countless species of mammals, insects, butterflies, birds, and other plants.
