Mission

SWMLC works to conserve the scenic and ecologically important landscapes that give our region its natural character — now and for generations to come.

About

Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy (SWMLC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land conservancy created in 1991. We work in the nine counties of southwest Michigan to preserve wild and scenic places for today — and keep them healthy for tomorrow. SWMLC is governed by a board of directors and operated by a professional staff that works in concert with dedicated volunteers. SWMLC helps individuals and organizations preserve land important to wildlife, water quality, and people; encourages ecologically sound land practices; and provides opportunities for education, research, recreation, and nature study. Since its inception, SWMLC has protected more than 15,000 acres of dunes, wetlands, forests, savannas, prairies, farms and vineyards that give our region its distinctive character. These landscapes have been safeguarded through a combination of donations and purchases of conservation easements and fee title land. In 2010, SWMLC received the National Land Trust Excellence Award from the Land Trust Alliance. The award was given for leadership in conservation for our collaborative approach and breadth of work in stewardship and conservation planning. In 2012, SWMLC achieved land trust accreditation, a milestone accomplishment. Awarded by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, accredited land trusts meet national standards for excellence, uphold the public trust, and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent.
