The Land Conservancy of West Michigan is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to keep nature nearby and conserve ecologically critical land in West Michigan. We protect land by creating public nature preserves, providing support to communities and local governments creating natural areas, and helping private landowners protect their own land.

This program is part of our Big Read Lakeshore Initiative and has been inspired by this year's selected books: The Circle by Dave Eggers, The Eyes & the Impossible by Dave Eggers, What Can A Citizen Do? by Dave Eggers, and You Hold Me Up by Monique Gray Smith.
