DesPlaines Wetlands Conservancy, Inc.

ABOUT US

The Des Plaines Wetlands Conservancy was founded in 1984 by a group of conservation-minded citizens to protect and maintain this area of wetlands and adjacent uplands in perpetuity for the use of present and future
generations. The Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and ecology of this area and the education of the people living around it. The Conservancy does make a difference in the ecology of this natural area. This land has been relatively untouched since the time it was formed, and represents a unique ecosystem in it’s natural state. The maintenance of this area guarantees that it will remain an untouched part of Illinois and Wisconsin’s heritage, and be available to its residents and visitors in its natural beauty and function.
