Land Conservancy of West Michigan
We partnered with the Land Conservancy of West Michigan during the months of April through the end of June. They conserve land by creating public nature preserves, providing support to communities, and helping private land owners. We are proud to say that we collected over $1,000 from all seven of our branches. A group of West Michigan Credit Union team members were also able to volunteer with LCWM and help plant over 70 shrubs at The Highlands Nature Preserve in Grand Rapids, MI.
We want to say a big thank you to our members for being so passionate about conservancy and helping keep nature nearby!
