About this Article

In the two decades since it last adopted a master plan, the DuPage County Forest Preserve District has expanded its land holdings by more than 3,500 acres, closed two landfills, developed more than 55 miles of new multipurpose trails and constructed numerous recreation facilities and support buildings. Now officials are looking to update the master plan so the document can guide future decisions about improving and maintaining the district’s facilities.
