Forest Preserves of Cook County 2026 Spring Brochure

fpdcc.com A chorus of birdsong, the first sprouting leaves and longer days spent outdoors: spring arrives in the Forest Preserves of Cook County with countless reasons to step outside and explore. Across our landscapes, familiar places begin to look and feel new again, inviting discovery at every turn. Throughout the season, our spring programs and events are designed to help you explore, learn and connect. That might mean joining a guided hike, attending a nature program with your family, spotting migrating birds and emerging wildflowers, or giving back through volunteer opportunities. No matter how you choose to spend your time, we hope these experiences encourage you to explore at your own pace and discover the many ways the Forest Preserves come alive this spring.
