Want to visit the bison at Burlington Prairie Forest Preserve, 13N240 Engel Rd., Sycamore. The gates to the preserve will open at sunrise Friday, May 1.
The Forest Preserve District of Kane County made history when it brought six bison back onto Kane County prairie for the first time in 200 years.
While leashed dogs are still welcome in the preserve, the District is asking the public not to bring dogs near the bison enclosure. Dogs in the preserve should be kept north (across the entrance road) or west of the enclosure (past the picnic shelter). The District’s Use Ordinance will be updated to reflect the change, and violators will be subject to a fine.
Beginning May 1, the preserve’s gates will be open from sunrise to sunset.
