Native Plant Sale

Adopt a Turtle
Help the environment for endangered Blanding's turtles in the Kane County's forest preserves, through our Adopt a Turtle program! You can be on "Team Turtle," become a Blanding's Backer, or join as a Blanding's Buddy. This program helps the District go above and beyond the Forest Preserve District's normal capacity for research, education, seasonal staff, technology and field supplies, as well as habitat improvement projects. Adopt your turtle, today!

Save & Restore Natural Areas
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's efforts to acquire and restore and protect prairies, woodlands and wetlands, throughout Kane County.
Improve Quality of Life
The Kane Forest Preserve Foundation actively works to restore, restock, protect and preserve forest preserve lands for the education, recreation and pleasure of all Kane County citizens — plants and wildlife alike. Support the Foundation, today.
