Nature is a healer, rejuvenating our minds and bodies while replenishing our air and water. Here in Chicagoland, amongst our dense urban areas and sprawling suburbs, the 70,000 acres of forest preserves in Cook County serve as an oasis for tens of millions of visitors each year, healing local residents while restoring the world around us.
This fall, Cook County voters have a historic opportunity to approve a ballot question to bring additional resources to the forest preserves, investing in this important public asset for us and the next generation. We encourage everyone to support this critical initiative, which will provide vital funding to protect our air, water, and wildlife.
