Ballot Referendums
DuPage and Kane Forest Preserve Referenda
This General Election on November 5, 2024, voters again will be asked to support forest preserves in DuPage and Kane counties. Each forest preserve district will ask for a small levy increase to preserve more land, maintain and restore existing forest preserves, and add recreational amenities, such as trails, and improve public access. Since the pandemic, many forest preserves have nearly doubled their attendance as people continue to discover the many benefits forest preserves provide to our lives and our communities.
If approved by the voters on November 5th, the forest preserves will be better able to improve air and water quality, purchase land and restore and create more wildlife habitat, improve flood control, expand public safety, and create more places where children can experience and enjoy with wonders of nature.
The Conservation Foundation will be supporting and working to pass each of these referenda in DuPage and Kane counties, and we ask that you vote YES and get involved. With land prices skyrocketing and the amount of natural lands dwindling, we must act now to preserve our last remaining open spaces for our children and our grandchildren before they are lost to development.
