About Conservation 2000

In 1995 the Illinois General Assembly initiated Conservation 2000, (C2000) a comprehensive, six year, $100 million initiative, designed to take a holistic, long-term approach to protecting and managing Illinois' natural resources. With overwhelmingly positive support for the program, in 1999, Governor George Ryan signed House Bill 1746 in to legislation in August of 1999 extending the C2000 Program until the year 2009.
The Conservation 2000 Program funds nine programs across three state natural resource agencies:

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR):  Ecosystem Programs (list with map of State Ecosystem Partnerships), Critical Trend Assessment Program, Professional Scientists Monitoring, Review of Illinois Water Law, Illinois Natural Resources Information Network

Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA): Conservation Practices Cost-Share Program, Sustainable Agriculture Grants Program, Soil & Water Conservation District Program Development, Expansion Grants, Streambank Stabilization and Restoration Program

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA): Illinois Clean Lakes Program
