| As one of the oldest forest preserves in DuPage County, the 81-acre Maple Grove is the largest remaining vestige of the vast maple forest that once made up Downers Grove. The preserve is classified by ecologists as a "globally endangered ecosystem." | |
| The Black Maple Prairie and Highland Maple Forest ecosystem of Maple Grove is home to hundreds of different plant species, some of which are threatened or endangered. Because less than 0.5% of Illinois' natural area remains intact today, Maple Grove is both a rare historical forest and a valuable natural area. | |
