McHenry County Conservation Foundation

McHenry County Conservation Foundation Established in 1999, the McHenry County Conservation Foundation is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of open space in McHenry County.

The Foundation exists to support, sustain, and advance the public conservation, education, and recreation programs of the McHenry County Conservation District and its partners. Over two decades, the Foundation has helped secure more than 5,600 acres of McHenry County's prairies, woodlands, and wetlands. In addition to supporting direct acquisition costs, foundation funds are also used to purchase

seeds, necessary stewardship equipment, and other resources that ensure these lands are maintained or restored as high quality habitat. The Foundation also strives to support events and projects that connect people to wild places in their communities. This work includes hosting our annual Pedal Paddle Saddle Across the Prairie event. The Foundation has also funded ecological training and nature education opportunities for more than 100 educational professionals and offered scholarships to underprivileged youth who otherwise would have been unable to attend summer camps hosted by the District.

It was a great weekend to tour the Big Foot Woods with donors and learn more about this property, which was recently acquired by McHenry County Conservation District thanks to Foundation support and is home to some of the oldest trees in the county.
