Our Mission
The Des Plaines Wetlands Conservancy is an established 501(c)3 Non-for-Profit organization whose mission is to conserve, protect, and acquire significant undeveloped lands adjacent to the Des Plaines River, and its tributaries. The relative assurance that the Conservancy property will be retained as wetlands comes with the fact that our existence is devoted to the perpetuation of wetlands and adjacent uplands.
Our Vision
The Conservancy is always looking out for the land, in ways most people do not realize. We have, over the years, purchased up to date farming and planting machinery thats important to the maintenance of our land that can help the overwhelming negative impacts, such as outside influences like “future developments” that are in process of suddenly encroaching our land and will effect growth and sustainability of our precious resource.
