How You Can Help Make It Happen

The local levels of government that have some jurisdiction over the current stretch of this 30-mile trail that is being worked on now, who would appreciate hearing from you, include but are not limited to:
DuPage County Board members (there are 3 in each district)
DuPage County Forest Preserve trustees (1 per district)
