Citizens For Conservation receives support from DAR

Citizens for Conservation recently received financial support from the Barrington-based Signal Hill Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

The volunteer-based nonprofit organization is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment that once covered northeastern Illinois.

CFC is based in Barrington, where volunteers work to restore and maintain over 777 acres across 14 separate nearby locations. Their efforts are restoring the beauty and biodiversity of the land for generations to come.

The Signal Hill Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in Barrington in 1972. The volunteer women’s service organization is headquartered in Washington, D.C.

Due to fundraising efforts throughout 2023, the chapter was able to contribute financially to a number of 501(c)3 organizations, specifically in the areas of historic preservation, education, patriotism, conservation and Native Americans.

Since its founding in 1890, more than one million women have joined NSDAR both nationally and around the world.

Membership in NSDAR is open to any woman aged 18 or older who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution.
