PROGRAM TEACHES YOUNG PEOPLE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENVIRONMENT
During Jeremy Whistenton’s freshman year of high school he was charged with finding a summer experience that related to agriculture. He chose to participate in Friends of the Forest Preserve. He loved the experience so much, he ended up participating in that program every summer. Later on, when he was looking for leadership opportunities, he went back to the Friends of the Forest Preserve, this time to participate in the Forest Preserves Experience program.
