Current Needs: The Frederick Farm Project

Legacy Land Conservancy is raising funds to save the old Frederick Farm, located on Wagner Road near Ellsworth and Ann Arbor-Saline Roads in Lodi Township.  With an overall goal of $933,400 to protect this highly visible farm, only 4% is still needed.  You can help: Your gift to the Farmland Fund by June 30, 2010 will help save this farm for a new generation.

Current Needs: The Waterloo Fund

Legacy Land Conservancy is helping to protect southern Michigan’s biggest and best natural corridor - and your help is needed.  Background: The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment has a grant to add new land to the Waterloo Recreation Area. There’s just one problem: the money can only be used for the land cost, not for the required transaction costs, and that’s where you can help.  Your gift to the Conservancy’s Waterloo Fund will help add hundreds of acres - $2.5 million worth! - to this important public nature area.
