Reedy farm likely to become part of Kane County forest district
Updated 4/1/2021 5:20 PM Kane County Forest Preserve District officials are on the verge of making their largest land purchase so far this year. The Reedy Farm in an unincorporated area near Gilberts would add 79 acres to the existing Binnie Forest Preserve. The farm, located off Galligan Road on the west side of the preserve, has been in private ownership and used to grow corn and soybeans.
The district's executive committee of forest preserve commissioners gave unanimous, preliminary approval of the purchase in a meeting Thursday without discussing the specifics or the purchase price.
