Launch the Next 100 Years of Conservation & Community
Johnson’s Mound was the first property ever acquired by the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. As the Forest Preserve District celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025, they’re kicking off the next century of conservation — and the Kane Forest Preserve Foundation is asking you to be a part of it. The mature forest at Johnson’s Mound includes the very first trees planted in the Forest Preserve District. For a century, these trees here have stood tall, and offered shade, beauty and a sense of history. We invite you to be a part of this living legacy. By sponsoring one of 800 trees in the new Centennial Grove Project, you’re supporting the District’s next century of conservation, beginning at Johnson’s Mound. The Centennial Grove Project features: n 800 trees, mostly oaks, but also hickories and maples. These new trees will be planted adjacent to the very oldest trees in the Forest Preserve District. You also have the opportunity to plant your own! n A new 23-acre prairie n A public-art piece called Guardians, by renowned local artist Mike Baur n Benches to rest and reflect n An ADA-accessible limestone path to the new amenities, as well as a mowed trail n Bronze plaques displayed on monuments, gratefully acknowledging our sponsors These new amenities will be unveiled at our Centennial Celebration — June 8 at noon at Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve. With your sponsorship, you’ll be planting more than just a tree — you’re planting a future. Your name can be forever tied to a forest that will grow and thrive for the next 100 years, and provide beauty and shelter for future generations to enjoy.
