 We protect significant natural, scenic, and farm lands – now
and for future generations. We serve a regional community
that includes Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska
and Manistee counties in northwest Lower Michigan. |

 Keeping our Ear to the Ground
"Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land."
– Aldo Leopold
Our region's landscape is our collective history, our present, and our future, yet our individual connections with land are unique. The stories in our Ear to the Ground audio series document the deep-rooted connections that individuals feel with the land. They also illustrate the common ground we share.

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. |
