About Lake Forest Open Lands
Lake Forest Open Lands Association is an independently funded conservation and education organization devoted to preserving and stewarding our incredible local natural landscapes and ensuring that all generations are welcome and able to fully experience nature. Lake Forest Open Lands is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization supported by members, donors and grantors without any local tax dollars. A volunteer Board of Governors oversees the organization.
