            To further prevent the spread of

			Proclamation issued on March 9, 2020, the Illinois Department of 
			Natural Resources (IDNR) today announced the closure of all state 
			parks, fish and wildlife areas, recreational areas, and historic 
			sites as well as the cancellation of upcoming scheduled events.  |

			office and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to 
			provide information as to the schedule for safely reopening our 
			facilities.
