What is the Riverwoods Preservation Council?

The RPC is a forum for addressing environmental issues that affect our Village.

We are a non-profit composed of resident volunteers. We are supported entirely by your tax-deductible contributions.

The RPC is independent of the Village government and the Riverwoods Residents Association, although we work closely with both on environmental issues.

The RPC's purposes include advocating for environmental awareness, educating the community on environmental and ecological matters, promoting environmentally-sound practices, and managing properties for environmental restoration and preservation. We want Riverwoods to remain a quiet sanctuary from the crowded, hectic world around us, by combining our respect for the area's wonderful natural history with state-of-the art knowledge of local plants and wildlife, threats to their continued existence, and opportunities for enhancing our local environment.

The RPC has authored a guide book for living in a woodland environment, In Our Own Backyard. It's specific to Riverwoods, so there's no other book like it. Click on the title, or on the link at the top of the page, for more information.
