The Illinois Conservation Foundation has introduced the Illinois Outdoor Excellence Awards to honor significant contributions to conservation and outdoor recreation in the state. Nominations are open until October 31, 2024, with awards across four categories: Outdoor Writer/Author of the Year, Outdoor Volunteer Organization of the Year, Outdoor Business/Business Owner of the Year, and Outdoor Influencer of the Year.

Youth waterfowl hunting opportunities are available this season at various state parks and wildlife areas in Illinois.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has expanded its pilot program for license reinstatement or restoration. Eighteen license types now have online access to reactivation requirements.
