The Liberty Prairie Foundation

Mission Statement:

The Liberty Prairie Foundation works to promote the integration of healthy ecosystems and the vibrant human communities they support throughout Lake County, Illinois.

Brief Description:

The Liberty Prairie Foundation is a small private operating foundation supported by transactions fees, contracts and grants. We have a number of programs supporting natural area restoration and health, local food production, environmental and food related education, and civic engagement. The Foundation owns the Prairie Crossing Farm and the Byron Colby Barn and uses these assets in support of our mission.
