Since our founding in 2007, the Preservation Foundation has received gifts at all levels, in a variety of ways.

Our donors are making their personal mark on the preserves they have hiked, biked, explored, and cherished for decades. You can give your gift in your lifetime or provide for the Lake County Forest Preserves through your estate plan.

Planned gifts to the Preservation Foundation sow seeds of possibility, supporting everything from land acquisition to habitat restoration to school field trips.
