Harvard Gateway Project

The 15 acre property includes two oak groves as well as a valuable segment of Rush Creek. The City of Harvard, Harvard School District 50, and The Land Conservancy of McHenry County are working together to raise the funds to purchase this property with the goal of it becoming a nature park for City residents and an outdoor classroom for students at the nearby Crosby School.

Get Involved with TLC

There are a variety of ways to help TLC preserve the natural, scenic and agricultural lands that make McHenry County so attractive, and that provide such a high quality of life to its residents.

As a small organization, TLC relies upon the work of volunteers, the financial support of members, as well as the decisions that private property owners make to preserve their land.
