Six Rivers Regional Land Conservancy
Six Rivers Regional Land Conservancy works with both public and private landowners to protect
land through conservation easements and other methods. We follow up by carefully managing the
land we protect, ensuring that the our conservation work is not only at the best professional
level but that it contributes to the quality of the communities we serve. Our educational programs
and stewardship days help children and adults learn to be better stewards of the land they care about.
All of these efforts are conducted within the framework of a green infrastructure vision
that is developed in collaboration with the communities where we work. Green infrastructure is
defined as a system of interconnected open space that preserves natural systems and water quality
and provides benefit to human populations.
We conserve and care for land in Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer and Genesee Counties and within
the watersheds of the Huron, Flint, Shiawassee, Rouge, Belle and Clinton Rivers. We currently
conserve approximately 1,154 acres, which includes 163 acres in six nature preserves, 771 acres
in sixteen conservation easements and an additional 220 acres through seven stewardship partnerships.
Detailed descriptions of our protected lands and programs are available on this website and in
our Annual Report.
