The Forest Preserve District of Will County offers a variety of opportunities for people to share their love of the outdoors and rejuvenate their body and mind. Whether it's hiking through lush woodlands, birdwatching along winding trails, or picnicking at any number of preserves, there's something for everyone to enjoy. However, permits are required for some activities, such as using the District's dog parks, hosting private events, or using the preserves in connection with your business.
