SPRING 2020
A GUIDE TO THE
Forest Preserves
of Cook County
fpdcc.com
Wednesday, April 22 marks the 50th anniversary
of Earth Day—a day set aside to renew our commitment
to the natural environment and remind ourselves to
give back to Mother Nature. Within the Forest Preserves
of Cook County’s nearly 70,000 acres of wild and
wonderful, thousands of plants and animals depend
on our natural lands. Healthy environments are critical
to ensure that Cook County’s diverse ecosystems thrive.
Consider gathering family and friends to celebrate
Earth Day. Throughout the Forest Preserves, people
of all ages can join volunteer restoration activities,
and some of our nature centers are hosting special
events and programs, too. Don’t stop there: There are
numerous opportunities throughout April—and all year
long—to be a part of the ecological stewardship of the
Forest Preserves.
