Kane Co. Forest Preserve Plans Evening Hikes for Coming Weeks

Submission by the Forest Preserve District of Kane County

Get your daily 10,000 steps in, during evening hikes with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County.

Each month, we’ll take an invigorating two-hour hike at a different forest preserve. “Trek with a Naturalist” programs are designed for those who like active hiking. The hikes will be led by a naturalist, who will interpret the ecology of the preserve along the way.

Join us at one or all three hikes:

• The first will take place on Thursday, June 16, from 6-8 p.m. at Big Rock Forest Preserve, 46W072 Jericho Rd., Big Rock.
• The second hike will be on Thursday, July 21, from 6-8 p.m. at Grunwald Farms Forest Preserve, 02S035 Lorang Rd., Elburn.
• The third hike will take place on Thursday, Aug. 18, from 6-8 p.m. at Freeman Kame Forest Preserve (Meet at the parking lot at Camp Tomo Chi-Chi Knolls), 40W095 Freeman Rd., Gilberts.

These programs are free, and for ages 18 and above. Advance registration is required. Call 630-444-3190 or e-mailprograms@kaneforest.com to register.
