Winter Greetings!

As winter's temperatures begin to drop and snow blankets the landscape, many people are inclined to stay indoors and wait for the season to pass. But those who brave the chill and head out to their local DuPage forest preserves this season are sure to be greeted by the sights and sounds of native wildlife.

With over 25,000 acres, 140 miles of trail and 60 preserves all right at your feet, there's a perfect way to enjoy DuPage County's forest preserves that's just waiting for you. For information, call (630) 933-7200, or visit www.dupageforest.com.
