Preserving land forever.
关于我们
McHenry County's landscape is richly diversified. Its features range from glacial remnants such as kames, moraines, and outwash plains, to the more recent woodlands, prairies, stream corridors, bogs and fens. Lifelong residents, as well as new residents, are attracted to McHenry County's special combination of small towns, natural areas, rural character and rural agricultural fields and farmsteads. Since 1991, The Land Conservancy has helped protect over 3,200 acres of McHenry County's prairies, wetlands and woodlands by working with private landowners, communities and other partners. We do this by accepting donated conservation easements and direct acquisition of property (through purchase or donation). When we take such sites under our care, it is our intention to protect them on behalf of the community for life.

Can you help? TLC is in need of a miter/chop saw for various projects. (Our old one just went kaput!) If you have one that is no longer needed, please message us or email [email protected]. Thank you!

The food forest has trees! In October, the Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture class from College of Lake County volunteered to plant over 40 trees and shrubs in a habitat buffer along the southern edge of the food forest. This strip will buffer against anything sprayed in the neighboring field as well as provide habitat and food for pollinators and other wildlife. The species planted include Hazelnuts, American Plum, Basswood, various Viburnums, Elderberry and Ninebark, all of which were selected for their resilient growth habit and ecological benefits. When planting, we amended the soil with mycorrhizal fungi and added in a generous amount of compost to each hole in order to give each plant a fertile place to thrive. After planting, we were able to water each of the new trees and shrubs with water from our new yard hydrant! After watering, we laid cardboard and wood chip mulch around each plant to protect them from encroaching weeds and keep the soil moist. All of these added steps will help ensure the success of each tree and shrub! If you would like to become involved with the Food Forest, contact Gretchen at [email protected].
