Creating Beautiful and Environmentally Responsible Outdoor Spaces Learn how to create a vibrant, low-maintenance landscape that works in harmony with nature. Beth Peluse, a Conservation@Home Program Manager at The Conservation Foundation, will show you how to design outdoor spaces that attract wildlife, conserve resources, and create lasting beauty—all while reducing your maintenance costs and environmental impact.
In her role at The Conservation Foundation, Beth collaborates with individuals and local organizations to promote the creation of sustainable, eco-friendly green spaces. By encouraging the planting of native plant gardens, Beth helps address rainwater management challenges, foster resilient ecosystems, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Her efforts not only support local wildlife but also enhance the natural beauty of our community.
Founded in 1972, The Conservation Foundation is one of the region’s oldest and largest not-for-profit land and watershed conservation organizations dedicated to preserving and restoring open space, protecting rivers and watersheds, and promoting stewardship of the environment in northeastern Illinois.
They believe…
every person, regardless of where they live or their social-economic status, deserves clean water, clean air, healthy food, and safe access to nature as a way to be healthy and happy.
With the support of more than 5,000 members and 500 volunteers, The Conservation Foundation carries out their mission to improve the health of communities by preserving and restoring open space and natural lands, protecting rivers and watersheds, and promoting stewardship of our environment in northeastern Illinois. They focus their work in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties where they have helped preserve more than 35,000 acres of open space, and they also go where they are needed in LaSalle, DeKalb, and Grundy Counties.
Please bring your questions to the meeting relative to sustainable landscaping and The Conservation Foundation.
