Become a Champion for Conservation: Join the Ethel Untermyer Society

The Ethel Untermyer Society, formerly known as the Guardian Society, celebrates the enduring legacy of Ethel Untermyer, whose vision and leadership helped establish the Lake County Forest Preserve District in 1958. Through the Society, donors who make a significant impact on conservation in Lake County are honored for their generosity and commitment. This recognition reflects the spirit of Ethel and brings together a community dedicated to protecting and restoring the county’s natural beauty.

Supporters whose annual giving totals $1,000 or more are recognized for their generosity through the Ethel Untermyer Society. Your commitment powers conservation, preserves native habitats, expands open spaces, and inspires stewardship across the county. In gratitude, you receive invitations to exclusive events, behind-the-scenes experiences, updates from Lake County Forest Preserves’ leadership, and acknowledgment among our most valued conservation partners.

Your commitment makes a lasting difference. Stand with us and help shape the future of Lake County’s natural spaces. Like Ethel, you can support conservation in the places she cherished and make a positive impact that will be valued for generations to come.
