@Home

Join the growing number of people who are helping nature at home.

Wherever you are in the process of creating an environmentally-friendly yard, you can join the Conservation@Home program! Start by completing our Conservation@Home interest form and we will connect with you to set up a free yard consultation (if you are within DuPage, Will, Kane, and Kendall Counties).

Please note – we’ve had a lot of interest in yard consultations (which is wonderful!) but it means we may not be able to get back to you right away. We will contact you as soon as we are able, thank you for your patience!

If you are outside of these counties, send us an email at [email protected] and we can connect you with one of our fellow Conservation@Home partners. During your yard visit, we will give you recommendations on the next steps to take toward getting your yard Conservation@Home certified (see our certification checklist). Or if your yard already meets our criteria, we can move forward with certification Ready to join the Conservation@Home club? See below for the benefits of joining now.  A $50 minimum donation is required to join. 

Benefits of Joining Conservation@Home

Benefits of Joining Conservation
@Home

We think directly helping nature in your neighborhood is the best reward from joining Conservation@Home, but there are other benefits to joining the program:

  • Complimentary yard consultation by The Conservation Foundation staff. We’ll visit your yard to give you advice and ideas on how to reach certification.
  • Conservation@Home sign upon certification to display in your yard and let others know that you’re helping the environment, right at home.
  • Conservation@Home newsletters sent right to your inbox, full of sustainable gardening tips, interesting native plant info, and invites to Conservation@Home programming.
  • Access to native plants. Many native plant nurseries only sell to retailers and not direct to consumers—we can help get access to these plants that most people cannot.
  • Facebook Group of likeminded people who are also transforming their home landscape. Here you can share photos, stories, and native gardening advice. 
  • Support for The Conservation Foundation’s mission to preserve and steward nature locally, where you live and work. You get a 1-year membership to The Conservation Foundation when you join the Conservation@Home program.
