The Forest Preserve District purchased Fabyan’s 600-acre estate — including the windmill — in 1937. A three-year restoration of the windmill was completed in 2004. Volunteer millers and docents lead tours from 1-4 p.m. on weekends from mid-May through mid-October. Self-guided tours are also available on weekends.

our miSSion & GoalThe mission of the Forest Preserve District of Kane County is to acquire, hold and maintain lands within Kane County that contribute to the preservation of natural and historic resources, habitats, flora and fauna; and to restore, restock, protect and preserve such lands for the education, recreation and pleasure of all its citizens. Our goal is to preserve and restore the nature of Kane County.

ruleS and reGulationSSee the District’s Use Ordinance at kaneforest.com for a full list of rules and regulations. An abbreviated version is also available in the information kiosks within most preserves.

aCCeSSiBilitYThe District welcomes the opportunity to help those with disabilities to enjoy all our facilities, programs and services. Motorized wheelchairs and scooters used to assist those with mobility impairments are permitted in all areas open to the public. Other power-driven mobility devices such as Segways and single-rider golf carts must meet District requirements and be registered with our ADA coordinator. See the Accessibility section of our Web site for information. To request special accommodations, contact the District’s ADA coordinator at

Many of the lands we own need regular, active management to become healthy and sustainable natural areas. By carefully thinning trees and brush, introducing native seed, planting native trees and shrubs, managing weeds, and conducting prescribed burns, we are committed to the long-term goal of returning thousands of acres to a more natural state.

Prescribed BurnsOne of the most valuable tools available for restoration is fire. Fire shaped our landscape prior to settlement and allows prairies, woodlands and wetlands to flourish. All our native plants and habitats have been long adapted to periodic fires. Highly trained District staff conduct prescribed burns each year during the spring and fall.

Illinois State Nature PreservesThe District recognizes the importance of preserving and protecting the natural heritage of Kane County. Truly unique areas within the District have been designated as Illinois Nature Preserves. These preserves contain natural areas where the original, native plant community survives. As such, active recreational options at these preserves is intentionally limited. Natural areas are available for viewing, but please remain on trails to have a minimum impact on these precious jewels within the Kane County forest preserves:

•AlmonUnderwoodPrairieForestPreserve•BlissWoodsForestPreserve•BurlingtonPrairieForestPreserve•DickYoungForestPreserve•FreemanKame/MeagherForestPreserve•HelmWoodsForestPreserve•Johnson’sMoundForestPreserve•LeRoyOakesForestPreserve Sadly, these special areas are only a small fraction of the land owned by the District. However, it is the intent of the District to use these natural areas as examples to restore altered lands to conditions similar to that of the past.

What More Can Citizens Do?Visit your local preserve and enjoy the beauty of nature! Remember to leave plants and animals in their natural habitat and not stray from designated pathways. Whether hiking through fields or woods, biking on a trail, camping overnight, stopping for a few minutes, or spending the entire day, the forest preserves exist for the education, recreation and pleasure of all Kane County citizens. Enjoy them!

memorial tree & BenCh proGramThe District offers a Memorial Tree & Bench Program. Please contact the Community Affairs department at (630) 232-5980 for more information.

natural areaS reStorationIntact prairies, woodlands and wetlands comprise such a small part of the entire county. The District is working to both enhance the remaining fragments of these important habitats and to create large-scale natural areas. Returning numerous acres of old crop field back to native prairie and controlling invasive brush in our woods benefits numerous types of wildlife, improves the land’s ability to hold and slowly release water, and reduces the amount of sediment entering local waterways.
