Environmental Defenders received Stewardship Challenge Grant Sterne’s Fen Nature Preserve in Crystal Lake.

The Environmental Defenders received a Stewardship Challenge Grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF).

By fulfilling certain requirements, we can receive up to $27,000 to spend on restoration projects at Sterne’s Fen Nature Preserve in Crystal Lake.

Our amazing volunteers have amassed 400 hours of volunteer time removing invasive species from the Fen, which earned a $4,000 payment

from ICECF. We have also received many generous donations since being awarded the grant. Each donation is being matched 3 to 1 by ICECF.

Thanks to anyone who donated and thanks to all our wonderful volunteers! #illinoiscleanrenergycommunityfoundation
