ABOUT US

LCLC is a non-profit organization that was birthed out of a shared vision between conservationists and land owners that wanted to help maintain and restore the local wild lands of Lake County, IL. We strive for the preservation, conservation, and management of open lands, natural areas, and ecosystems through full or partial interest in real property; and for increased student and citizen awareness and appreciation of the natural environment through public education and stewardship.

As a land trust, we provide tax relief to land-owners and developers who donate natural areas of easements.

Open lands and wetlands in Lake County are vanishing on a daily basis, and with them go the trees, birds and animals. Once open lands are gone, there can be no return to the beautiful natural areas that historically have set this county apart from others in Illinois. The Land Conservancy of Lake County takes an active role in managing and promoting the protection of natural areas and ecosystems.
