About Us

The Land Conservancy of West Michigan is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to keep nature nearby and help people protect, enjoy, and care for natural land in West Michigan. We conserve land by creating public nature preserves, providing support to communities and local governments creating natural areas, and helping private landowners protect their own land.

The 2024 Holiday Hike Challenge starts TODAY! 🎀 Bows have been hung on trees in our nature preserves--if you find them (and identify the tree they're affixed to), you could win cool prizes!

Visit a nature preserve, find a bow, take a photo, and enter to win!

Don't want to go it alone? This year, we are partnering with Lea Sevigny of @joyfulwildcrafting to host a group hike at every participating nature preserve.

The challenge runs through the end of the year. Learn how to participate (and what you can win!) on our website: https://buff.ly/40Mw9kJ

Ever since Chuck and Pat Bloom inherited Chuck's father's 160-acre property in Newaygo County, they have been committed to ensuring it remains a place their family can experience the rejuvenating effects of time in nature. They protected the land with a conservation easement in 2008.

"[We thought], ‘Gee, this land is very dear to us, and it’s always been natural. It would really be nice to protect this forever.’ We talked it over with our kids before we entered into the agreement to see if they were on board, and they all were, totally,” Chuck said.

We are grateful to the Blooms for their commitment to keeping nature nearby! Read their story in our Fall newsletter: https://buff.ly/4fkJwg2
