Together with its partners, the Fund has safeguarded more than 48,000 acres across Illinois. By leveraging public and private support, the Fund pioneered new approaches to conservation and development, led restoration efforts at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, and spearheaded the protection of fragile wetlands and waterways along the Fox River.
Warblers, wood thrushes and whip-poor-wills migrating through Illinois gained more room to stretch their wings, thanks to the efforts of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the National Wild Turkey Federation and a partnership between the natural gas pipeline project Rockies Express Pipeline (REX), The Conservation Fund and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

At the Fund we help save wild havens: large, natural spaces for wildlife to be exactly that—wild. Your gift ensures that wildlife, like this bear cub, has the habitat it needs to thrive.
Peg Kohring, director of the Fund's work in the Midwest, is based in Michigan. She works with community leaders across the region. "We’re the tools in the hands of communities, helping to make conservation happen.”
