Fabyan Preserve Stewardship Day

Fabyan Forest Preserve is without question one of the most heavily
used preserves in Kane County, owing to its location on the Fox River and its
numerous natural and historic features. 
To ensure the 200 acre oak woodland remains an asset to the preserve, I
would like to personally invite you to join us and other environmental
enthusiasts for a day of stewardship. Together we will remove buckthorn and
honeysuckle – two invasive species that are impacting biodiversity within the
woodland.  The goal is to remove these
invasive species so that sunlight will again reach the ground floor.  This will in turn help wildflowers flourish
and the white oaks, our state tree, to regenerate themselves from acorns.  Our work will also improve habitat for birds and
other animals that visit the site by giving them room to migrate through the
woodland while foraging for food.
