Ned Brown Forest Preserve

The Ned Brown Forest Preserve, popularly known as Busse Woods, adjoining Rolling Meadows, Elk Grove Village and Schaumburg in Illinois, is a 3,700-acre (1,500 ha) unit of the Cook County Forest Preserve system. It is named after Edward "Ned" Eagle Brown. A section of the northeast quadrant of the forest preserve is the Busse Forest Nature Preserve, which was registered as a National Natural Landmark in February 1980, as a well preserved example of the lake-flatwoods habitat. Busse Forest Preserve (Busse Woods) was named for Cook County Commissioner William Busse in 1949.
