Master Planning
Give us your feedback on proposed preserve improvements for 2012-2017. See the Master Plan section for details.

Chronic Wasting Disease Info
Chronic wasting disease is an always-fatal neurological disease found in deer and elk. If left unmanaged, it’s feared the disease could spread throughout the state’s deer population. For more information, see CWD: What Illinois' Hunters and Landowners Need to Know and CWD Management in Illinois: Fact or Fiction. For additional CWD facts and figures, visit IDNR. The Forest Preserve District is now hosting a CWD Sampling Station. Hunters are asked to provide samples from adult deer they harvest. See the press release for details.
