Remember to Log Your Volunteer Hours!

Logging your hours with the Forest Preserves of Cook County gives you access to stewardship training programs and certifications—and can even earn you volunteer recognition items like patches, hats, and other gear. It also helps PCPS and the Forest Preserves demonstrate our collective impact to funders and partners.
