President

Pledge Summary

Holiday Hills is a small community with a population just over 600 residents. It is nestled in-between the Fox River and Griswold Lake with Moraine Hills State Park bordering part of our village. We don't have a lot of public land but we do have a lot of potential to support Monarchs and pollinators in our residents' garden and looking forward to participating in this program.
