Board of Directors
HeartLands Conservancy is governed by a Board of Directors and five committees – Governance, Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Land Conservation, and Green Communities.
Our Board Members bring a wealth of experience and – most importantly – a passion for conservation in southwestern Illinois. The work of our organization would not be possible without their dedication and volunteerism.
