Open land is scarce in Arlington Heights, but nature does find its way
into the news. Most of the time it's good news and simple stories of
interest. We'll keep track of animal sitings and removals, bird
migrations, bird flu (Avian flu) news, West Nile virus news and other
outdoor news -- from the fun stuff to the hazards.
There are no forest preserves in Arlington Heights, but there is Busse Woods/Ned Brown Forest Preserve (3700 acres in
Forest Preserve District of Cook County) directly to the south in Elk Grove Village near
Arlington Heights Road and Interstate 90 and Buffalo Creek (387 acres in
Lake County Forest Preserves) directly to the north in Buffalo Grove/Long Grove near
Arlington Heights Road and Lake Cook Road.
The
Arlington Heights Park District has about 66 parks with acres of open land and
Lake Arlington (50 acres).
