This month, the Conservancy hosted public meetings with over 150 community members to discuss our restoration of North Pond. If you were unable to attend, you can view the presentation (North Pond Restoration Public Meeting Presentation – November 2020) or watch the recorded version from the November 11 meeting.
Still want to learn more? Visit our restoration webpage. You can also arrange a personal presentation for your group or building. E-mail Doug Widener to schedule a virtual North Pond presentation.
During our “Deck Your Halls: Poinsettias for a Purpose” online sale, the Conservancy will sell the nearly 700 gold, orange, and pink poinsettias grown by the Conservatory staff for the Winter Show. Funds from the sale help the Conservancy run the docent and greeter programs at the Conservatory, as well as other educational programs. This money also helps buy plants, fund seasonal shows, feed the fish, and assist with a number of other smaller projects in the Conservatory.
We are an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that identifies, preserves and enhances the natural, historical and cultural assets of Lincoln Park.
Our experience in park restoration spans over 35 years. We have privately funded improvement projects of every size from historic buildings and monuments to natural areas, gardens and play lots – raising millions to benefit the park.
If you like being part of a team or prefer a more solitary volunteer experience, we have a program to fit your style. We offer volunteer opportunities for any level of commitment.
We continually strive to improve Chicago’s largest park for all who use it and for the environment that sustains it. Find your special way to support our mission.
