Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE LAND CONSERVANCY OF WEST MICHIGAN HELPS PEOPLE PROTECT, ENJOY, AND CARE FOR NATURAL LAND IN WEST MICHIGAN.
THE LAND CONSERVANCY IS "KEEPING NATURE NEARBY" BY PERMANENTLY PRESERVING LAND THAT IS IMPORTANT TO WEST MICHIGAN'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT. WE DO THIS BY ESTABLISHING CONSERVANCY-OWNED NATURE PRESERVES THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, WORKING WITH LANDOWNERS TO CREATE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THAT PROTECT NATURAL HABITATS AND OPEN SPACES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES TO CREATE PARKS AND NATURAL AREAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE ENJOYMENT AND STUDY OF NATURE. THIS YEAR WE COMPLETED FOUR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THAT PROTECTED 57 ACRES.
THE LAND CONSERVANCY PROVIDES OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS TO KEY AUDIENCES THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE AREA. WE RAISE COMMUNITY AND MEMBER AWARENESS OF WEST MICHIGAN LAND PROTECTION AND STEWARDSHIP ISSUES THROUGH EVENTS, NEWSLETTERS, PRESENTATIONS, MEDIA RELATIONS, DIRECT MAIL, WEBSITE, AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE LAND CONSERVANCY WORKS WITH CONTRACTORS, INTERNS AND VOLUNTEERS IN STEWARDSHIP ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND RESTORATION OF OUR DIVERSE NETWORK OF DUNE, GRASSLAND, WETLAND, AND FORESTED PRESERVED LANDS. WE COORDINATE WITH AREA SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE RESEARCH, SERVICE LEARNING AND HANDS-ON FIELD OPPORTUNITIES AT OUR PRESERVES. WE ORGANIZE AND LEAD WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE THE TOOLS AND INSPIRATION FOR ALL CITIZENS TO BECOME BETTER STEWARDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY. THIS YEAR WE MANAGED 200 VOLUNTEERS AT 20+ STEWARDSHIP WORK DAYS AND EVENTS.
