Quad Cities Ecological Corridor Network
This project outlines the ecological corridor network in the Quad Cities region, focusing on habitat connectivity, conservation opportunities, and strategic planning for a resilient natural landscape. Success relies on integrating the Network into local planning, restoring ravines, leveraging partnerships, securing diverse funding, engaging communities, launching pilot projects, and continuously monitoring progress. Ultimately, this initiative aims to create connected ecologically functional corridors that boosts biodiversity, climate resilience, public health, recreation, and the regional economy
