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

Thank you to the Prescribed Burn Crew members who joined us for a burn at Lamberton Lake Fen Nature Preserve earlier this week! 🔥 This preserve protects a rare prairie fen. Prairie fens were historically neighbored by fire-dependent oak savannas and openings, and many of the plants you find in a prairie fen are well adapted to fire. Fire helps free up nutrients in the soil and allows light to reach seeds that would otherwise struggle to germinate and compete with other plants. It will also keep back invasive species like glossy buckthorn, which we have worked hard to remove from the fen with the help of many volunteers.
