Trail Patrol volunteers can receive training on bicycle safety, and learn how to answer frequently asked questions about the Forest Preserve District. Pairs of volunteers traverse the most popular preserves in the county. In addition to answering questions, they distribute trail maps and communicate adverse trail conditions and emergencies to the District’s Office of Law Enforcement.
