Land Acquisitions
|
 |
| Lands acquired for Forest Preserves must meet many or all of the
requirements as set forth by our Board of Commissioners. Those requirements
include protecting natural areas for wildlife habitat, preserving wetlands,
prairies and forests, providing trails, greenways, river and lake access,
protecting against flooding, expanding existing Preserves and creating new
sites. |

Restoration Projects
|
|
| Habitat restoration is an ongoing part of properly caring for and
maintaining your Lake County Forest Preserves. Together with volunteer help,
we clear hundreds of acres each year of weedy brush and other invasive
plants to make room for native grasses, wildflowers and trees. |

Improvements
|
|
| Forest Preserve improvement projects focus on creating trails and public
access, improving education and historical facilities, and providing
additional open space and outdoor recreation opportunities. |
