Adopt-A-Site

What is the Adopt-A-Site Program?
The program aims to engage and support people in caring for their Forest Preserves. Make a commitment to care for a preserve by picking up litter while setting a positive example to other Preserve users, encouraging them not to litter.

Commitment- site cleanup at least four times per year for a minimum of two years

Participants- Just about anyone can take part: individuals, families, civic groups, clubs, organizations, fraternities, and faith groups.
