Our booth is up and we are ready to rock and roll at the 40th Illinois Lakes Management Association Annual Conference! New this year is a shoreline protection demonstration, including live fish! #healthylakes #shoreline #ilmenvironments

ILM is honored to be part of the APWA Chicago Metro Chapter awards luncheon today for our our involvement in the Buffalo Creek improvements with the Village of Lake Zurch.

Wrapping up a HUGE stream restoration project! We've been there all summer and are now putting the icing on the cake! We love our hugely talented Eco Construction team! #likebutter #ilmenvironments #welovewhatwedo

Build it and they will come! We have been stewarding the #ponds (30 of them!) at the Hybernia subdivision in Highland Park for 13 years. They are seeing more herons than ever this year, including the state-endangered black-crowned night heron (right). What a great testament to the power of #habitatrestoration. #natureonlybetter #ilmenvironments

Do you think your algae outbreak is a #harmfulalgalbloom? Also known as HABS, not all harmful algal blooms are harmful. The only way to know is to test for the presence of toxins - and we can help! Our HABS rapid response program allows us to identify the algae in your lake or pond and test for toxins if it is one of the blue-green algae species known to produce them. Results are back no later than 48 hours, along with a plan to remediate if necessary. Click here for more information on our website: https://lnkd.in/gUm5qTVC #HABs #algae #ilmenvironments

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are on the rise. The EPA has some good information about what to do if you think you have HABS. #nomoreHABS #cleanwater #whenindoubtstayout

Too much algae? Algae is an important part of a healthy lake ecosystem, but #toomuchalgae can lead to excess nutrients in your lake as it decomposes. Manual algae removal can have immediate positive aesthetic and ecological effects on your lake. Read more https://lnkd.in/gba4RJ6R #ilmenvironments #healthylakes #manualremoval

Finishing up day one of a 3/4 mile creek stabilization project in the Village of Western Springs. First things first, divert the water from the creek to allow for equipment. It would have been easier if the day didn't end with torrential rain! #streamrestoration #erosioncontrol #crazyrain
