Pledge Summary

The Village of Frankfort is located approximately 35 miles southwest of Chicago, Illinois. One of the main contributors to Frankfort’s high quality-of-life is the abundant natural environment. Tucked away at the east end of Frankfort’s historic downtown lies the award-winning Prairie Park. This 14-acre park features both preserved and expanded native prairie areas, over 140 different native plant species, a fishing pond, walking paths and educational interpretative signage. Located within the park is one of the last remaining natural prairie areas in Frankfort. The Village of Frankfort desires to continue to preserve, enhance and grow Frankfort’s network of open spaces and natural areas. This pledge aligns with this goal and our community looks forward to raising awareness about the decline of the monarch butterfly and the species’ need for habitat.
