Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund

The Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund was established in 1983 with the passing of the Illinois Non-Game Wildlife Protection Act. The Illinois General Assembly declared that "non-game wildlife have need of special protection and that it is in the public interest to preserve, protect, perpetuate and enhance non-game wildlife and native plant resources of this State through preservation of a satisfactory environment and an ecological balance." The Act provides a means by which such protection may be financed through a voluntary check-off designation on State income tax return forms.
