Meet June Keibler, one of TLC’s new board members

June Keibler returns to TLC’s board of directors in 2019 after serving on the board from 1991-96. She and her husband Steve live in Dundee and have a grown son and daughter and five grandchildren.

How do you spend your days? 
I am retired. I volunteer for Dundee Township Open Space helping to coordinate volunteer workdays for ecological restoration.

What are your ties to McHenry County? 
We own a 73-acre farm held in a conservation easement in Alden that we are restoring to prairie and savanna. The strong land/environmental ethic is a defining characteristic of the county, and I like that.

Why did you decide to join TLC board?
I am a founding member of The Land Conservancy, and having the land in Alden has given me a new connection to McHenry County. Also, I think the work TLC is doing is extremely valuable.

Anything else you’d like to add?
I’m looking forward to getting to know the board and staff and working to protect land in McHenry County.
