Environmental, historical, and cultural education is one of the most important missions undertaken by the Forest Preserve. Hundreds of schools and youth groups learn about the past and the many curiosities of nature. Family Programs, which are educational as well as fun, are attended by thousands.

And, environmental education workshops are designed to expand your knowledge of the out-of-doors. For more information on Forest Preserve programs, click on Facility Information below or call 815.727.8700.
