Fifty years ago, four volunteers met to lay out a plan to identify, protect, and care for West Michigan’s natural areas. Lewis Drain, Grace Eldering, John Will, and Herbert Ranta founded the organization called the Natural Areas Conservancy of West Michigan (NACOWMI), incorporated on October 19, 1976.

Our founders were lawyers, scientists, and professionals who believed in the importance of the preservation and enjoyment of natural land. They made a promise to West Michigan's wildest places, and we've been keeping it ever since.

While so much has changed around us, we've worked to protect the natural spaces that make West Michigan feel like home. What started as hope has become legacy, transforming thousands of acres into enduring sanctuaries where today's children will bring their own children to explore.

Fun fact: One of our founding board members, Grace Eldering, is better known for being one of two women to help create the vaccine for pertussis, or whooping cough, in the 1930s.

We returned to Lamberton Lake Fen Nature Preserve this weekend to continue our removal of invasive buckthorn. Thank you to all the volunteers who joined us to participate in this effort. The removal of these shrubs will allow for the growth of native plants, making way for a healthier habitat.

Your efforts are part of a decades-long commitment to restoring a prairie fen oasis in the middle of the city. The health of this rare habitat is possible because volunteers have shown up year after year to tend to it. Be sure to visit again in the spring and summer and witness the difference you've made!

Join us again in the fen in February! Learn more on our website: https://naturenearby.org/events/ssw-at-lamberton-021426/
