Wander Through the Woods: GO Lake Forest Partners with Open Lands

By Kristin Elliott (Photos by Thais O'Malley) Lake Forest Parks & Recreation and Lake Forest Open Lands recently joined forces to host a scenic and energizing GO Lake Forest Walk through the Jean & John Greene Nature Preserve.

The event brought together residents to experience the beauty of Lake Forest's natural spaces while promoting community wellness and connection. One of the best parts of the walk is learning all about the preserve, including everything from tree species to wildlife to local history. GO Lake Forest is more than just a walk; it's a movement to encourage healthy lifestyles, strengthen community bonds, and celebrate the unique green spaces that make Lake Forest so special.

This walk is one of the many made possible by the growing partnership between Parks & Rec and Open Lands - two organizations deeply committed to enhancing the health of our community. More walks are coming this year, so stay tuned and keep moving!
