At the Illinois Conservation Foundation, we're passionate about ensuring that everyone can experience the beauty of the outdoors. In collaboration with the Jared Burke Foundation, we're launching an exciting initiative aimed at providing greater access to hunting for individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to raise $30,000 to purchase five mobile hunting blinds, designed to offer safe, comfortable access to hunters who might otherwise face physical challenges.

By contributing to this cause, you'll not only help us make the outdoors more inclusive but also receive a special sticker as a token of our appreciation. Together, we can create a future where everyone—regardless of ability—can share in the joy of hunting and nature. Ready to help? Visit the link and join us in making a difference this season!

The Torstenson Youth Conservation Education Center gives Illinois youth the chance to unplug and learn the values of nature through exploration, self-discovery and development of new skills.

This program aims to provide greater access and programming for individuals with disabilities.

BOW provides introductory experiences and instruction in various outdoor activities geared toward women.

Free classes taught by state-certified volunteer instructors are held throughout the year on boating, hunting, trapping and snowmobiling. The programs are designed for youth ages 12-18, but all ages are encouraged to participate.
