We protect significant natural, scenic, and farm lands – and
advance stewardship - now and for future generations.
We serve a regional community
that includes Antrim, Benzie,
Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Manistee counties in
northwest Lower Michigan. |
 
When is the last time you visited one
of our nature preserves?
Our preserves and natural areas are great places to celebrate the coming of summer. Rejuvenate your spirit with a solitary stroll or join us for a guided hike or trail clean-up. Check out our Events page and our Find a Preserve page and plan an outing soon!
See what you're missing - take a video hike of Pyatt Lake Natural Area with Executive Director Glen Chown (video is just over 3 minutes in length). |
The Conservancy owns and manages nature preserves open to the public. These are places where you can witness a carpet of spring wildflowers, observe wildlife, walk through a quiet forest, or wander a breathtaking beach. View our preserve guide, or explore a list of our nature preserves to find your place in nature. |
