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.

Muskegon community members Linda and Leon (Jerry) Bakke generously offered to match $10,000 in donations to Dune Harbor Park to help us get closer to reaching our fundraising goal, and you all rose to the challenge. We are excited to announce we met the match—and then some!
-
We are so close to funding the opening of the southern portion of Dune Harbor Park. Thank you to everyone who has donated to support protecting and allowing public access to this special natural area in Muskegon County!

Blanchard's cricket frog is threatened species in Michigan. A combination of development and poor water quality are likely contributors to its steep decline over the past 30 years.
-
On one of our nature preserves, presence of the frog was last documented in the late 1980s. This summer, we heard its distinct call there. With the capture of this photo, we have confirmation: Blanchard's cricket frog is holding on in one of the natural areas you helped protect.

That's a lot of significance for such a tiny frog! 🐸

B.D. White Nature Preserve is being taken over by some monster mushrooms! The warm, moist weather this fall has made conditions just right for some impressive fall fungus. The stumps of trees we thinned as part of the oak savanna restoration there are also helping the fungi flourish.

Thanks to our Second Saturday Workday volunteers and Habitat Heroes, there is more to explore at B.D. White Nature Preserve!
🥾
We added a new trail along the eastern border of the preserve, creating a loop with the original trail. The total trail length is now 1.1 miles.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this happen! Check out the updated trail map and plan your visit on our website:

What does a mushroom look like to a spider? Questions to contemplate on a #FallFungusFriday. These mushrooms (and spider) were spotted at Brower Lake Nature Preserve. Where will you go to find fall fungi this weekend? naturenearby.org/explore
