This hour-long webinar hosted by PSCC and the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation will introduce you to the Casper Creek Natural Cemetery in Galena, Illinois and show the ease and environmental impact of choosing a natural burial in their conservation cemetery. A brief video will show the beautiful landscape and testimonials of those who have chosen this option for their final destination. You’ll learn the facts about natural burial and what it means to be a conservation cemetery. There’ll be time for questions following the presentation.

Join PSCC and the Illinois Environmental Council for a conservation discussion about barriers, challenges, and solutions to significant issues experienced by conservationists.

The campaign sets a national goal to conserve at least 30 percent of the nation’s lands, freshwater, and ocean areas by 2030.
