		During his budget address in February 2004, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich stunned state conservation, parks and outdoor sports organizations when he announced a $34 million cut to the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) program and the Natural Areas Acquisition Fund (NAAF). The cut eliminated all state grants to aid local government in purchasing and upgrading open space for public parks and it reduced state conservation staff and stewardship programs that protect the state’s most rare natural areas, called nature preserves.
