Since 1972, the Little Traverse Conservancy has evolved to become one of the most established and effective regional land trusts in the country.
The mission of the Little Traverse Conservancy is to protect the natural diversity and beauty of northern Michigan by preserving significant land and scenic areas, and fostering appreciation and understanding of the environment.
The land is a living resource. When it is overdeveloped or misused, we all suffer. This is particularly critical in the North where natural beauty is our principal attraction, and most people’s livelihoods are derived in some way from the region’s abundant resources.
The Little Traverse Conservancy was founded as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization to take action. As of June 2023:
- More than 330 private properties have been given permanent protection with conservation easements.
- Almost 400 nature preserves and 38 working forest reserves are open to the public with more than 100 miles of trails available.
LTC provides environmental education programs–at no cost–to thousands of school children throughout the years. Quarterly field trips are offered for an adult audience interested in learning more about our valuable natural spaces.
