Unplug to Recharge Pledge
Take the pledge and then sign up below for biweekly emails with unplugging tips, nature facts, and ideas to help keep the momentum going all summer long.
Plus, stop by the Visitor Services office at Forest Preserve District headquarters at Danada Forest Preserve, the DuPage Wildlife Conservation Center, the Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center, the Timber Ridge Visitor Center at Kline Creek Farm, or St. James Farm to pick up a free vinyl sticker, cinch backpack, and trails guide while supplies last. (Just make sure to check each site for hours before you head out.)
I pledge to unplug for at least 30 consecutive minutes each day and spend that time connecting with nature. During this challenge, I will set aside my screens and use those moments to explore, observe, and enjoy the natural world around me.
Whether I’m walking a trail, listening to birds, watching wildlife, or simply breathing in the fresh air, I will give myself time to slow down and be present.
Each day I complete my 30 minutes, I’ll mark it in my tracker. By taking this pledge, I commit to making nature part of my daily routine.
