It is with heavy hearts that we write to inform you that Barbara Reed Turner passed away peacefully at her home here in Long Grove on April 9, 2020.

Barbara had been a resident of our village since her youth and will be remembered as a cherished friend, leader, and role model in our community.   Most notably, Barbara will be remembered for her legacy in conservation of our open spaces in Long Grove, and the donation of the 36-acre Reed Turner Woodland to the public as an Illinois Nature Preserve.  Her stewardship of this property and her preservation efforts throughout Lake County distinguished Barbara for many honors and serve as an inspiration to us all.   The Reed Turner Woodland Nature Preserve remains under the management and care of the Long Grove Park District.

Barbara's family has asked that those who wish to honor Barbara and her passion for preserving Reed Turner Woodland’s native ecosystem may make a donation to the Long Grove Park District. You can write a check to : Long Grove Park District, 3849 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove, IL 60047 (note Barbara Turner on memo line) or donate online by credit card at this GoFundMe site. 

Beginning April 9, donations at this GoFundMe site will be dedicated solely to the stewardship and preservation of the Reed Turner Woodland Nature Preserve.  As will donations by check that are in memory of Barbara.
