during the 19SOs," says Fenelon,
<br />who odds iliac farmland in Lake
<br />County now sells for at least
<br />$50,000 an acre.
<br />Today eight million people are
<br />parr of Chicago's ecology. More
<br />than just open space and park de-
<br />sign, hirure planning for the Illi-
<br />nois Forest Preserves should be
<br />tied to sustainable housing, recre-
<br />azion, transit, and farming. Such
<br />strong connections between Por-
<br />est Preserves expansion and land
<br />use planning can help to ensure
<br />public access and more-compact
<br />development patterns. Independence Grove
<br />offers one glimpse of how the public and
<br />private sectors can join forces to creare parks
<br />for people and the native landscape Char sus-
<br />ruins them.
