Land Preservation

Land Preservation for future generations

The natural and open space features of Michigan's lakes, rivers and streams, rolling hillsides, wetlands and forests reflect its character and beauty.
Loss of farmland and open space has a significant effect on water quality, aesthetic values, wildlife, preservation and overall quality of life.

The purpose of this site is to introduce the primary tools in land preservation. This is not intended to be a comprehensive explanation. Readers will want to consult with their attorneys, community planners and other experts in the field.
