Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Chicago Wilderness leads strategy to preserve, improve, and expand nature and quality of life. An alliance of more than 200 member organizations, Chicago Wilderness focuses upon critical natural resources management and constituency building efforts in the region that spans Southeast Wisconsin, Northeast Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and Southwest Michigan. This critical region is home to 10+ million people and 500+ municipalities, includes 200+ miles of Lake Michigan Shoreline and more than 1 million acres of important lands and waters.

Major Activities

Activity 2
The core initiative of chicago wilderness is restoring local nature to health and the alliance seeks to increase public understanding and support for caring for our local lands and waters. Alliance members apply the best science to restore and manage the region's natural areas, while engaging thousands of volunteers as stewards of the landscape and training citizen scientists. The initiative develops landscape scale recovery plans, and funds restoration projects on sites of regional significance. It also conducts controlled burn training for professionals and volunteers in the region, and oversees the ne il invasive plants partnership (niipp.net).
Activity 3
The leave no child inside (lnci) initiative seeks to promote children's health and foster the next generation of stewards and conservation leaders of our region's natural heritage. The cw lnci initiative raises public awareness about the importance of access to nature for healthy childhood development, and by providing the places and programs for generations of families to connect with nature. Through collaborative community programs, teen service learning projects, youth education initiatives such as the mighty acorns, and early childhood programs, cw members are engaging adults--parents, caregivers, community leaders--in improving the health and wellbeing of children through physical activity, unstructured play and outdoor exploration, while fostering an appreciation of the natural environment.
