This weekend, the Michigan Alliance for Environmental and Outdoor Education recognized LCWM Stewardship Specialist Jason Googins and his wife, Alison, for their volunteer contributions to support environmental education. They both received the 2024 Volunteer Award! It is a well-deserved recognition of their commitment to caring for the environment through sharing their knowledge about native plants and conservation. We are so inspired by the many ways they both show their passion for nature in their work and lives. Congratulations, Jason and Alison! 🌼

Thanks to everyone who joined us at McDuffee Creek Nature Preserve to explore elements of fly fishing over the weekend! We hiked the trails, we learned about aquatic insects and how to use that knowledge to catch fish, and we learned how to tie a fly. Thanks especially to our friends at the @westmichiganmayflyproject for sharing their expertise and helping lead a very fun event!

It's your last weekend to shop at @orvisgrandrapids and save 10% on apparel, flies, fly-tying, and dog purchases when you make a $10+ donation to the Land Conservancy of West Michigan! Your donations will be dedicated to McDuffee Creek Nature Preserve in Newaygo County.

Orvis will make a $5,000 matching donation for the top 5 stores to raise the most for their partner charity. We are very close to qualifying for this match. Help us to secure these funds and make a gift in store this weekend! 🐟 Thank you for your support!
