The Preservation Foundation of the Lake County Forest Preserves offers Lake County Forest Preserve users the opportunity to help make a difference by “adopting” an acre of their favorite forest preserve or a mile of their favorite trail.

Donations to the Adopt-an-Acre or Adopt-a-Mile program support long-term maintenance of the preserves and trails you love. With a $100 tax-deductible donation, you can honor a loved one or mark a special occasion. All gifts are acknowledged with a beautiful, personalized photo, making for a unique gift idea.
