Openlands fights to keep Hinsdale forest preserve preserved

I'm late catching up with this, but Openlands, the Chicago-area land conservation organization, is seeking help convincing the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County not to give the village of Hinsdale a 40-year lease on part of the Bemis Woods Forest Preserve, to erect buildings and "dramatically alter this area."

"Before the District's upcoming board meeting, on October 7, please call or write the Commissioners and ask them not to surrender our region's precious open spaces," Openlands pleads. Check out their arguments here.
