If you’re interested in volunteering, you can reach out directly to Char at 847-414-3691. We rely on many volunteers to keep things running smoothly—from planting and weeding to harvesting. Every extra set of hands helps more neighbors in need get access to healthy food. Corporate and local and community groups are also welcome.

At their March 11 meeting, the Forest Preserve Board approved the purchase of about 13.4 acres in Fremont Township to expand Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda. The $3,994,100 acquisition is known as the Dayspring Bible College & Seminary. 

The site, which has been of interest to the Forest Preserves for more than 20 years, is surrounded by existing preserve land and is located on Fairfield Road about a quarter mile north of Route 176, adjacent to the Lakewood Off-Leash Dog Area.



The property currently operates as a seminary and includes dormitories, apartments and a gymnasium. The Forest Preserve will evaluate how the buildings could support operational needs in the future.

The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) invites you to an Open House for Envision 2050, their long range plan that will guide how they invest in transportation projects through the year 2050.

This plan is about the future of our roads, paths and transit in Lake County. Your perspective is valuable in helping develop a transportation plan that reflects the priorities and values of the entire community!
