Community Involvement

We are excited to announce a partnership with the Land Conservancy of West Michigan!

The Land Conservancy of West Michigan works to keep nature nearby and help people protect, enjoy, and care for natural land in West Michigan. They achieve these goals by creating public nature preserves, providing support to communities and local governments in creating natural areas, and helping private landowners protect their own land.

In West Michigan, LCWM works to conserve 155 properties that covers 12,251 acres, 81 miles of shoreline, and 8 counties! Some of their current projects include:

• Pere Marquette Conservation Park: Help fund the future of this park in Ludington to restore it's natural habitat and create opportunities for all flavors of outdoor recreation
• Wildflower Guide: Includes 30 native species with descriptions, bloom times, and locations
• Citizen Photo Monitoring: Includes signs installed at five different nature preserves that help you capture pictures of a changing landscape to monitor progress of volunteers who have removed invasive species, restored native plants, and helped create a healthy ecosystem

To learn more about the incredible efforts that the Land Conservancy of West Michigan is doing for natural land right here in our state, please visit their website.

We’ll be collecting money at each of our locations through the end of June!
