The Conservation Guardians offer programs that appeal to ecological and environmental issues — and to people. It's easy to join them at a lecture or workshop. Or on a field trip to a forest, wetland, or prairie.
The Guardians present the natural history of northwest Illinois in ways which all members can appreciate. Anyone can become a Guardian. All activities are open to the public.
The Conservation Guardians of Northwest Illinois is a division of Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation, a non-profit, 501-3c charitable and educational organization.
