About this Article

A $10.3 million acquisition being pursued by the Lake County Forest Preserve District would provide a key link to the Millennium Trail and expand a sprawling collection of open spaces in the northern part of the county. The 315-acre site in Newport Township, once considered for a wind farm, would become an addition to the Pine Dunes Forest Preserve.
