The Lyme Timber Company

The Lyme team is excited to share an important milestone in our effort to conserve 73,000 acres of forestland in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, part of our Lyme Great Lakes property. The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund approved a $4.2M grant award towards the project; a $15 million grant from the federal Forest Legacy Program and a $1 million grant from nonprofit National Fish & Wildlife Foundation were previously awarded.

We are proud of the role Lyme plays in ongoing conservation efforts. Earlier this year, affiliates of The Lyme Timber Company sold 1,495 acres to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy to facilitate permanent protection of the land for hunting, fishing, hiking and other recreational opportunities in Benezette Township, Elk County. https://lnkd.in/e6xJdHMW
