Welcome from the President

As President of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Board of Commissioners, I would like to welcome you to the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Online. Our new website will present our departments, programs, and services, taking you on a virtual tour of what the District has to offer.

Browse our website and enjoy a look at the District’s best from the comfort of your home, office, or from wherever you choose to explore our site. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County Online offers visitors the opportunity to do many of the things for which one previously had to visit our offices. You may download a picnic permit application, a trail map, or get nature center information for a future visit. Whether you’d like to see what our individual departments do, try a few District trivia questions, or just want to wander through our online wilderness, this site has it all.

I encourage you to visit our site often and experience the newest way that we bring your Forest Preserve District a little closer to home.

John H. Stroger, Jr.
