Hello Chicago Wilderness Friend,

            The Friends of the Forest Preserves want to take this
opportunity to introduce our organization and solicit your support. We
are a membership organization composed of grassroots individuals and
organizations - usually people who are very knowlegable about and
interested in the Forest Preserves, always people who enjoy and love our
Forest Preserves. Because Cook County has over 68,000 acres preserved -
and growing - it comprizes well over 25% of Chicago Wilderness total
area (greater than 250,000 acres). 

            Cook County's Forest Preserves are some of the most used,
most interesting bits of nature in Chicago Wilderness. We need your help
and support to keep it growing, and protect and restore what we have,
all the while, enjoying the Preserve's educational and recreational
opportunities without damaging the resource. This is a tall order.

            In our short history, in addition to two groundbreaking,
authoritive reports on the Cook County Forest Preserves we co-authored
with Friends of the Parks, we have represented the interests of people
and nature for the Cook County Forest Preserves. We have spoken at
innumerable hearings and meetings and attend every Forest Preserve Board
meeting, Committee meeting and hearing. We meet regularly with
commissioners and are often quoted or printed in the media. We hope we
have become an important voice on Forest Preserve issues.

            But we need your help and support to maintain and grow our
unique, focused organization.

You can get more information about The Friends of the Forest Preserves
on our website: www.fotfp.org <http://www.fotfp.org/>  , or contact our
Executive Director Benjamin Cox at Benjamin@fotfp.org or (847)967-0796 

Sincerely,
            John Sheerin
            President - Friends of the Forest Preserves
