As of March 2023, Michigan's land conservancies and conservation groups have protected a total of 806,560 acres of natural, scenic and working farms and forest lands throughout the state, according to a recent survey conducted by Heart of the Lakes. More than 130,000 acres were added since our last survey in 2020.
Heart of the Lakes' survey tracks land conservation successes by a suite of unique protection tools: acquisition of nature preserves or conservation easements, assists or transfers of lands to local governments or the state, or management or stewardship of lands held by others.
