The Forest Preserve District of Cook County, with more than 69,000-acres, is the largest forest preserve district in the United States. It receives an estimated 40 million visits each year, providing an escape into a world teeming with wildlife and rich with outdoor recreation and environmental education opportunities. Within its boundaries are rare habitats that offer plant and animal diversity on par with the rainforests of the world.
The Forest Preserve is partnering with Smart Chicago to build a web application that allows people to travel to and navigate inside all Forest Preserve trails via their computer, tablet or mobile device.
