Watersheds
we're working in
The Conservation Foundation works collaboratively, in many innovative ways to protect and improve the health of our rivers and streams and ultimately our communities. The basis of much of the watershed work we do is based on strong relationships with stakeholders that we have built over many years in the DuPage, Fox and Des Plaines River, and Salt Creek watersheds. We have tailored our work to needs of each watershed in different ways.
