We hold monthly board meetings at the HERO Center, 3191 Hartland RD. in Hartland, every 2nd Monday at 7:00 pm which are open to the public. Dates for 2026: January 12, February 9, March 9, April 13, May 11, June 8, July 13, August 10, September 14, October 12, November 9, and December 14.

We need volunteers!

• Land stewardship – working outside helping monitor conditions and perform maintenance like invasive species removal or signage installation.
• Fundraising – help with our annual fundraiser – Land on the Horizon, or brainstorm new ways for raising monies.
• Special projects – we have a Pollinator Project at the Charles & Albert Parker Families Nature Preserve next to the Brighton District Library. Spring through Fall, we are removing invasive plants, installing more natives, and working on a solarization area to remove stubborn turf grass so it can be restored.
• Outings – help conduct an informative hike or bird walk, etc., on one of our preserves to get the public engaged on our properties.
• Marketing – help spread the word about the Conservancy and what we do.
• Become a member for $25 – you can vote for the board of directors and even run as a candidate!
• Grant writing – research for eligible grants and then help with the writing and implementation.
