DANVILLE – The Vermilion County Conservation District Foundation unveiled plans Friday for a $4 million, 33,000-square-foot education center to be built at Kennekuk County Park using a variety of "green" technologies.

Foundation board members and others took a computer-generated, three-dimensional tour of the architect's design of the timber-frame building that will not only enhance the district's educational programs but also serve as the national headquarters for the area's only national scenic river, the Middle Fork, and provide a venue for large meetings and conferences.
