Be there and be prepared.
If you can attend please do so. Also remember that we no longer use terms like "dig", "excavate" or anything that sounds like that. Semantics are everything so choose your approach and words, should you get the chance to use them, very carefully. We recover lost items. We perform great community service by removing trash and are the only user group that does this without recognition.
We are the eyes of the CCFPD LEO's in those woods as well.
We are also the only user group that the FP district does NOT have to set aside real estate for. Hikers/bikers/skaters/bird watchers and dog walkers require trails, open spaces and the maintenance of those spaces are required for kite fliers, picnickers, gamers of one kind or another. Fishermen need stocked ponds with access. Our only real need is parking spaces, it is the only thing we have in common with other users.
In short, we cost them so much less than all other user groups and we return so much more than other user groups.
For you people in Cook County, they've spent your tax dollars on these places and their salaries. You need to impress them with the fact that you are the best stewards of those places.
Again, the info below is vital:
