The Kane Forest Preserve Foundation actively works to restore, restock, protect and preserve forest preserve lands for the education, recreation and pleasure of all who live here — people, plants and wildlife.
Less than one-tenth of one percent of the original Illinois prairie remains. The Foundation is a charitable organization that helps the Forest Preserve District of Kane County's efforts to acquire, restore and protect prairies, woodlands and s, wetlands throughout Kane County.
The Kane Forest Preserve Foundation provides leisureships so that cost isn't a barrier to kids to attending summer day camps from the Forest Preserve District of Kane County.
