Summer of Fun

If you don't now, you should subscribe to 'The DuPage Conservationist'. It is the quarterly paper put out by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. It provides lots of info about conservation, but I wanted to point out that it also provides all the information you would need about our programs and a 'Summer of Fun'.

A few highlights...

Kline Creek Farm Programs- learn about farming in the 1890's. The farm is open Thursdays - Mondays with programs including gardening, children's chores, children's stories, and many other aspects of DuPage life 120 years ago.

First Folio Shakespeare Festival at Mayslake Peabody Estate. Enjoy the Bard's story of Prospero and his daughter Miranda in the 'Tempest' from June 21-July 30. This is on stage in the world's largest theater. Ok, you are outside under the moon and the stars (hopefully you can see them:).

Enjoy any number of nature walks.

Learn to fish programs. If you are 16 or older you must posess a valid Illinois fishing license.

Learn to Kayak. A basic program to see if you might like this sport.

Get a little dirty- We have several nature workdays and restoration workdays in the great out of doors.

The Bug Bash at Fullersburg- Take the Ug out of Bug!

And of course, you can hike, bike, picnic, birdwatch, fish, canoe, geocache, etc.
without going to a program and have fun on your own.
