The Forest Preserve District of Cook County will spend $10 million to improve the Red Gate Woods area of the Palos Preserves system. So far, contractors have removed 200 acres of honeysuckle that had stunted the growth of native plants. “This is our biggest restoration project ever, ever, ever,” said Eileen Figel, interim general superintendent of the district. |
