INITIATIVES
FUNDED BY DONORS LIKE YOU
The work of The Nature Foundation of Will County is evident any time you visit a forest preserve or visitor center, from large-scale improvements to nuances intended to enhance your connection to the natural world.
With your generosity, the Foundation can continue its mission to protect nature, inspire discovery and bring people and nature together. Collectively, we can achieve a better Will County for the people of today and tomorrow.
The Nature Foundation of Will County routinely provides funding to allow the visitor centers to host world-class exhibitions that offer unique perspectives about the world around us past and present.
This popular preserve in Troy Township got a makeover in 2023 with improvements funded in large part by a $750,000 gift from the Dollinger family to the Foundation.
The repair stations are stocked with a variety of tools to aid in repairs, including wrenches, screwdrivers and tire levers to aid cyclists along Will County's regional trails.
Participants used the Goosechase app to take part in a scavenger hunt with hundreds of missions to get people outside and exploring all of Will County's preserves.
Since 2017, more than $19,000 in Restore Will County grants have been awarded to volunteer site stewards and Forest Preserve employees.
