This , we’re spotlighting how the Forest Preserves of Cook County is taking action on climate change—protecting over 70,000 acres while building a more resilient future through our Sustainability & Climate Resiliency Plan.

🌎 Big goals, real impact
- Achieve net zero by 2050.
- Reduce facility GHG emissions by 45% by 2030.
- Transition to 100% renewable electricity in building portfolio by 2030.
- Establish climate-resilient and adaptable lands by 2045.

🌱 Sustainability in action
From green buildings and clean energy to electric vehicles and waste reduction, we’re cutting emissions across operations.

🌳 Nature is the solution
Healthy forests, prairies and wetlands capture carbon, reduce flooding and support biodiversity—absorbing over 1.5M tons of CO₂ each year.

🌾 Adapting for tomorrow
Through land restoration, invasive species management, and climate-informed planning, we’re helping ecosystems—and communities—thrive.

✨ Take action: Volunteer, restore habitats, and make sustainable choices with us.
