Welcome to Chikaming Open Lands
Chikaming Open Lands is here when land needs protecting…for now, and for tomorrow. This summer at the dedication of The Woods Preserve, one of the property donors commented “We have only been waiting 30 years to find Chikaming Open Lands… who had the wisdom and the commitment and the drive to take this [land] from us and preserve it into perpetuity.”
We are your local land trust, protecting open space to improve the quality of the watershed, provide wildlife habitat, and offer scenic places for quiet reflection for residents of southwest Michigan. With the involvementand energetic encouragement of our growing membership, we learn about the local environment, restore threatened habitat, and reach out to educate others about the importance of land preservation.
If you are someone with roots in southwest Michigan, you understand these goals. Like not-for-profit organizations all around the country, we partner with members to support our activities. Our year-end fundraising campaign is under way.
You share this land, and you share our values. Now please share the responsibility. Please click “Donate” to be taken to a secure Paypal website and make a tax-deductible contribution in support of open spaces in southwest Michigan.
