The late-glacial and early Holocene geology, paleoecology and paleohydrology of the Brewster Creek Site, a proposed wetland restoration site, Pratt's Wayne Woods Forest Preserve and James "Pate" Philip State Park, Bartlett, Illinois

The Illinois General Assembly appropriated funds in 1989 to blend the forest, marshland and grasslands of Pratt's Wayne Woods Forest Preserve in DuPage County (Ill.) with newly purchased conservation land. This new state park located near Bartlett, Illinois, was named the James "Pate" Philip State Park and construction began in 1995 for the Region 2 headquarters of the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources and a park visitor center. These facilities were opened to the public in April 2003, and although the land and building are owned by the state of Illinois, the park and visitor center are managed by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.Includes bibliographical references (p. 36-41).Abstract. -- Introduction. -- Methods. -- Results. -- Discussion. -- Acknowledgments. -- References. -- Epilogue. -- Appendix. -- Tables
