Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy

Collaborative conservation protects more land, more effectively. ?? This unique property in the Huron Mountains is safegaurded by both UPLC and The Nature Conservancy in Michigan. In October, we met up with the TNC team to monitor the area together and dicuss ongoing projects. By sharing resources and expertise, we're securing the future of these vital Upper Peninsula ecosystems for generations to come. #conservationpartnership #upperpeninsula #landtrusts #sustainability

This past weekend, after two flights and?nearly 1200 miles, John Frye, UPLC's Director, safely landed in Providence, Rhode Island to attend the Land Trust Alliance Rally 2024, National Land Conservation Conference. The flight provided a view of 2 Great Lakes, many major cities and a variety of landforms. The trip provided a unique perspective of just how important our Upper Peninsula landscape is. John is looking to better understand the land pressures of our energy transition as well as how to better assist the team and U.P. communities in future land protection projects. Conservation is stronger through collaboration and connections, and we can't wait to hear what John brings home to the U.P. from this valuable conference experience! Many thanks to our supporters for making this trip possible. #Rally2024 #nationallandconservationconference #LTA #conservation
