CRYSTAL LAKE – A playscape for small children, trails and increased access to the Fox River are all part of a recommended plan for the Fox Bluff Conservation Area.

The plans – a preferred one and three alternatives – are available for public viewing online and during an open house scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake.

There will be another public viewing before the McHenry County Conservation District Board of Trustees votes on a final version at its June 20 meeting.
