Clean water from healthy lands.

We are building a new approach to land conservation that will protect and restore clean water in the Great Lakes region.

Clean Water

Every acre of land protected can prevent up to 500 pounds of algae in the Great Lakes.

Healthy Lands

We help restore croplands to perennial vegetation and protect forested lands, providing clean water and wildlife habitat.

Featured Project

  • Riverview Natural Area

    Little Forks Conservancy

    This land protection project employs a multifaceted approach to conservation, which protects and improves natural habitat while providing critical access to nature for the local community. The land area includes almost two miles of Tittabawassee River shoreline, providing critical floodwater storage and forested wetlands to help benefit water quality in the region.
