A Year to Celebrate!

With four decades of conservation now behind us, there are many, many reasons to celebrate all that has been accomplished through the work of northern Michigan's land conservancy. Visit this page often for updates on special events and opportunities that will be offered throughout the year. And mark your calendar for August 7 when we will host a very special 40th anniversary annual meeting at Goodhart Farms. You won't want to miss it!
     
40 Preserves in 40 Days
To celebrate the Little Traverse Conservancy's 40th anniversary, the staff and board challenge you to visit 40 of our Nature Preserves between now and the Annual Meeting on August 7 within 40 consecutive days. (Remember, you can visit more than one in a day and then take some days off in between!) Use the LTC Nature Preserve Guide Map or use the interactive map to help you begin your challenge. To participate, simply download and print the 40th Anniversary Challenge Log to track the preserves you have visited. When you can, send us a photo of yourself in front of a Nature Preserve Sign so that we can post on Facebook and get some friendly competition going. Those who complete this challenge will receive public recognition and a prize at the Annual Meeting!
