The Conservation Foundation
The Conservation Foundation
is a private, not-for-profit land and watershed
conservation organization based in Naperville.
Its mission is to enhance the quality of
life by preserving open space, protecting
natural lands and improving rivers and watersheds.
Conservation
@ Home provides conservation education
and engages homeowners to "think globally and act locally." Homeowners
participating in Conservation @ Home will
be provided with "do it yourself" information
and be eligible for discounts at local plant
nurseries, landscape companies and lawn care
services. The Foundation will also supply
a list of local consultants who specialize
in designing and installing these native
landscapes. Each certified yard will be provided
with a sign identifying the yard's certification
as an environmentally friendly yard.
