Our Mission
Protecting the Places that Matter
The Cadillac Area Land Conservancy protects significant natural, scenic, and farm lands for current and future generations and fosters an appreciation for the environment in Missaukee, Osceola, Wexford, and northern Lake and Mason counties.
We Protect Land
Since its inception in 1995, the Cadillac Area Land Conservancy (CALC) has been serving land owners — those, who have the foresight to preserve special places — and those of future generations, who will benefit from their endeavors.
Protected
Over 2,800 acres of natural, scenic, and farm lands through land owner and public conservation partnership.
Public Preserves
Four public preserves are maintained for conservation and public enjoyment.
Partners
Coalitions with state, federal and local agencies to identify priority “wildlife corridors” for establishing future easements.
Conducts
Stewardship of easement properties through annual monitoring and communication with land owners.
Outreach
Community outreach for education and advancing land stewardship now and for future generations.
Nature Preserves
A preserve is land that is donated to or acquired by CALC, meeting qualifications to be protected for its conservation values. Permanent protection is tailored to the property and donor’s interests, and is managed for public use.
