Cook County Forest Preserves - Who we Are
May 07, 2020
My name is Kevin Kuhn and I work with the Forest Preserves of Cook County. FPCC staff is sharing information about the Forest Preserves with local stakeholders to keep residents and our elected officials informed of the work we’re doing.
“The Forest Preserves of Cook County, with nearly 70,000 acres, is the largest forest preserve district in the United States. It receives an estimated 62 million visits each year, providing an escape into a world teeming with wildlife and rich with outdoor recreation and environmental education opportunities. Within its boundaries are rare habitats that offer plant and animal diversity on par with the rainforests of the world. This natural heritage offers something for everyone.”

April 17, 1975, Cambodia. Few Westerners were in country at the time of the events that led up to the holocaust that gave way to the killing fields of Cambodia and the loss of more than 1.7 million lives. Former CIA/Air America Capt. Neil Hansen was onethat witnessed some of the horrors firsthand and only barely escaped by stealing a plane and flying in the blind to Bangkok.
Air America pilot Capt. Neil Hansen began his aviation career ominously enough as a pilot for the disappeared Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. He later spent more than a decade in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War era as a captain for the CIA's airline that operated there during the Vietnam era and the 'Secret War' in Laos. Post-Air America, his adrenaline addiction took him to a flying job in Cambodia. He could not have known at the time that his lust for excitement would nearly cost him his life. He escaped Cambodia mere hours before the murderous Khmer Rouge marched into the city and closed the airspace.
