District Announces "Dupage Forest Preserves: Right at Your Feet"

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is pleased to announce its theme, "DuPage Forest Preserves: Right at Your Feet."

This theme will bring added awareness to the long-standing, easy-to-find, conservational, educational and recreational activities that await in the DuPage County forest preserves, activities that range from a leisurely lunchtime walk or naturalist-led bird-watching hike to an afternoon peddling the trails or learning about native Illinois prairies.

These are opportunities that are truly "right at your feet" as every home and business in DuPage County is no more than a 10-minute drive from at least one of the county's 59 forest preserves and one state park.

A calendar of upcoming programs is included in each issue of the District's quarterly publication, "The DuPage Conservationist," which is free to DuPage County residents and includes nature-related, historical and educational articles. For a subscription, call (630) 933-7085. For more information on the "Right at Your Feet" program, call (630) 871-6403.
