Summary: The Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) has identified two parcels of land for acquisition that would add to the Forest Preserves’ current holdings near Glenwood Woods (the “Property”). The Property, commonly known as a portion of Glenwood Academy, Glenwood, Cook County, Illinois, consists of approximately 23.992 ± acres.
