Each year many thousands of people visit Sycamore preserves.  Over the past few years, there has been a tremendous increase in visitors to all of our preserves, showing it is more important than ever that we continue to protect and restore our beautiful natural areas.  Thank you to our generous “Sponsor a Preserve” Summer 2022 Sponsors for helping to make this work possible.
