We\u2019ve changed the shorelines of our lakes by adding natural plant vegetation, called a natural shoreline. Natural shorelines, as opposed to rock borders or retaining wall shorelines, offer many benefits to the community. Natural shorelines add beauty to the landscape. They help reduce excessive growth of algae by protecting the water quality because they prevent the soil from eroding into the lake. Natural shorelines also keep litter from blowing into the lakes. The plants attract a great variety of wildlife such as birds, butterflies, frogs, turtles, and ducks which use the area for nesting, spawning and protection from predators. In addition, the vegetation deters nuisance species like Canadian geese which litter the lake and surrounding area with droppings. Further, by improving water quality and appearance, increasing wildlife habitat, a natural shoreline may even improve property values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2021, the HEParks Board of Commissioners formally adopted an updated Natural Area Management Plan, called the \u201cLand Definition &amp; Management Plan,\u201d which served to update descriptions of properties types, with updated management plans per property definition. Each management definition is broken down into various levels, with each level outlining the appropriate procedures for healthy and beneficial horticultural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan was updated once again in November 2024 after Vogelei Park achieved full Arboretum status, making HEParks one of only two Illinois park district agencies to own a park as a designated Arboretum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heparks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Land-Definition-Management-Plan-Updated-11.14.2024.pdf\">View the plan<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column pattern-col-image is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"327\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.heparks.org\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/12\/Rectangle-463-2.png.webp\" alt=\"a pair of hands wearing gloves holding some grass\" class=\"wp-image-6158 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heparks.org\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/12\/Rectangle-463-2.png.webp 580w, https:\/\/www.heparks.org\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/12\/Rectangle-463-2-300x169.png.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 580px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 580\/327;\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.heparks.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/Rectangle-463-2.png&quot;,&quot;data-srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.heparks.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/Rectangle-463-2.png 580w, https:\\\/\\\/www.heparks.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/Rectangle-463-2-300x169.png 300w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light pattern cta-1 has-dark-teal-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e033bdd935111b6e2b10926e81813442\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-light-teal-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column pattern-col-text is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-intro-heading\">Carte interactive des parcs et installations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carte interactive des parcs et installations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>D\u00e9couvrez les parcs, les sentiers et les installations r\u00e9cr\u00e9atives de Hoffman Estates.
