Los bosques son recursos vitales, reanudables y productivos para Illinois. Más de la mitad de la flora nativade Illinois y la mitad de la flora amenazada o en peligro de extinción se encuentra en los bosques de Illinois.

Más del 75 por ciento de los hábitats de la vida silvestre del estado están en los bosques. Las industrias rela-cionadas a los bosques emplean a casi 65.000 personas en Illinois y contribuyen más de $4.5 mil millones anual-mente a la economía estatal con el valor agregado de la manufactura.

En el estado encontramos cuatro tipos distintivos de bosque: bosque ribereño; bosque de hoja caduca de laaltiplanicie; bosque conífero; y bosque de tierras bajas meridional de Illinois. Los bosques ribereños son grandesáreas enmaderadas que confinan pantanos o ríos. En Illinois, cubren cerca de 809.000 acres. Los bosques dehoja caduca de la altiplanicie tienen árboles de coronas altas que pierden sus hojas en el otoño y son áreas queno están sujetas a inundaciones. De los 4.3 millones de acres de bosque del estado, 3.6 millones de acres sonbosques de hojas caducas. Los bosques coníferos contienen árboles siempre verdes con conos. Illinois tiene cercade 72.000 acres de bosque conífero, la mayor parte en el tercio meridional del estado. Los bosques de tierra bajameridional de Illinois cubren cerca de 11.700 acres en Illinois. Esta área es la parte más al norte del llano cos-tero del golfo de Norteamérica.

El otoño es una hermosa época del año en Illinois. Los tonos rojos,

púrpuras, anaranjados, amarillos, marrones y bronceados de las hojas

reflejan la gran diversidad de especies de árboles en nuestro estado.

Nuestra estación de colores de otoño dura varias semanas, normalmente

comenzando en los condados del norte de Illinois por la tercera o cuarta semana

de septiembre. En Illinois central los colores de las hojas comienzan a cambiar

durante la segunda semana de octubre y en la parte meridional del estado los

colores cambian en las dos últimas semanas de octubre. El pico de los colores

de otoño en Illinois ocurre normalmente a mediados de octubre en el norte y

centro de Illinois y en la última parte de octubre o principios de noviembre en

el sur del estado.
