The Forest Preserve District recently hosted an event to celebrate the installation of a new solar power system at its Fleet Management building. The ceremony featured several notable attendees, including U.S. Rep. Sean Casten and multiple Forest Preserve Commissioners.

In attendance were Forest Preserve Commissioner Jeff Gahris (District 4), Forest Preserve Commissioner Tina Tyson-Dunne (District 2), green-energy endowment fund donor Ann Boisclair, Forest Preserve District President Daniel Hebreard, green-energy endowment fund donor Jeff Jens, Forest Preserve Commissioner Al Murphy (District 6), Forest Preserve Commissioner Marsha Murphy (District 1), and Forest Preserve Commissioner Barbara O'Meara (District 5). Together, they symbolically cut an electric cord to mark the occasion.

A statement from the district emphasized their mission: "We strive to connect all people to nature. We're committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and providing facilities, programs, and activities free from discrimination or harassment."
