Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is to support the protection and restoration of native habitats within the Forest Preserves of Cook County and work to connect all residents, especially youth, with this great natural resource. The Foundation, which is its own 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, works to raise funds to enable the developing and launching of programs that are otherwise beyond the capacity of tax dollars. By developing partnerships with individual donors, foundations and corporations, we protect native biological diversity, build public awareness and enhance outdoor experiences for present and future generations of Cook County residents.

Our mission is to engage in protecting and restoring the treasured natural habitats within the Forest Preserve of Cook County and to enhance outdoor experiences of all communities.We will do this by encouraging and administering private gifts to further the Forest Preserves' mission and goals.

Dedicated in 1965, the 372-acre site is distinguished by its peat bog ecosystem and rolling upland woods, and is the fifth oldest nature preserve site in Illinois.
