The Forest Preserve District of Kane County is a public agency based in Geneva, Illinois, tasked with acquiring, owning, and maintaining lands within Kane County to protect natural and historic resources, habitats, flora, and fauna. It also undertakes restoration and protection efforts to preserve such lands for education, recreation, and the enjoyment of county residents and visitors. As a regional conservation and recreation district, it operates with a mid-sized staff and serves the needs of Kane County residents. In early 2026, the district announced support for a development project at Muirhead Springs Forest Preserve in Hampshire. It collaborates with community partners and hosts events such as Harvest Fall Festival and Maple Sugaring Days to engage the public with local natural resources. It has received recognition for conservation work, including an award for developing an oak savanna and pollinator corridor at Big Rock Forest Preserve.
