Fosv

Description

The Friends of the Sangamon Valley (FoSV) is a charitable membership organization dedicated to the preservation of local natural heritage by acquiring, restoring and protecting ecologically significant lands in the Sangamon River watershed. It is a Springfield-based non-for-profit land trust. Neither the city of Springfield nor Sangamon County have a local conservation district, forest preserve district, or other land trust organization dedicated to preserving land or restoring and maintaining natural areas. FoSV fills this niche. Initially formed to address a potential threat to a single nature preserve in Springfield, FoSV has expanded its mission to encompass the broader watershed, and has conducted work in Sangamon, Menard and Mason counties.
