Nestled in Naperville, the 1,388-acre Greene Valley Forest Preserve unfolds as a haven of natural wonders. Boasting over 540 native plant species, it stands out as one of the county's most botanically diverse sites.

The 190-foot-tall scenic overlook, offering a panoramic view of the Chicago skyline, becomes a weekend retreat for picnics and bird-watching. With 12 miles of marked trails, picnic shelters, an off-leash dog area, and a model craft zone, Greene Valley invites exploration.

Delve into a high-quality oak woodland, a testament to conservation efforts spanning over 50 years, and witness spectacular spring wildflower displays. The preserve's savanna and aged oak woodland echo the plant communities of DuPage County's past, while over 370 native animal species thrive in its diverse habitats.
