Washtenaw Land Trust
From ArborWiki
Despite its name, the Washtenaw Land Trust works to preserve open space in Washtenaw, Jackson and Ingham counties. In addition to protecting ecologically significant areas, the Land Trust also works helps to ensure that local farmers will be able to continue to farm their land in the future. The organization provides information to local land owners regarding the various steps land owners can take to preserve their land.
As stated on the Land Trust's website at http://www.washtenawlandtrust.org:
- The Washtenaw Land Trust protects land for its natural, scenic, recreational, historic and agricultural values.
[edit] In the news
- Dexter Township man, 86, donates land - and his beloved trees - to Washtenaw Land Trust, Ann Arbor News, July 2008
- While much smaller than most conservation easements the Washtenaw Land Trust accepts, Baker's donation is welcome and significant, said Suzie Heiney, development and communications director for the land trust. Without it, the parcels eventually could be built on, she said.
