The Rice Field Boardwalk in the Forest Preserve has deteriorated and poses safety concerns; the need for its replacement is unquestionable.
Friday, Nov. 18, 2011, The Forest Preserve Foundation Board of Trustees and the Forest Preserve Committee will host a Lowcountry Boil and a silent auction to benefit its replacement. The 800 feet long capital improvement project will cost approximately $70,000 - doubling the Forest Preserve's funding need next year.
Please help us maintain the Forest Preserve established by Charles Fraser.
