Illinois farmer's 30-year land restoration safeguards drinking water for 30,000 residents

Greg Reising has spent nearly three decades transforming his 100-acre property near Kinkaid Lake, Illinois, into a conservation site since 1995. He converted former farmland by introducing native prairie plants and planting thousands of trees to restore the natural landscape. His efforts were driven in part by serious erosion and sedimentation issues affecting the Kinkaid Lake watershed, which prompted collaboration with multiple agencies. Reising received support through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, which funded streambank stabilization and habitat restoration work. The cumulative impact of these initiatives now helps protect the drinking water supply for approximately 30,000 people.
