About us

Citizens for Conservation (CFC) is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring the natural environment that once covered northeastern Illinois. CFC is based in Barrington, Illinois where we work diligently to protect and restore 777 acres across 14 preserves, in addition to supporting regional restoration initiatives.

CFC proactively preserves and restores land with the help of dedicated volunteers and donors who want to protect the health and beauty of the land for future generations. We also work within the community and the region to foster good environmental ethics and practices. Our efforts benefit native plants and animals and enhance ecosystem services such as groundwater protection, flood and erosion control, and carbon storage.

If you are inspired by what we do, please join us. We welcome you to get to know us better, as well as help us make the world around us a little better.
