With your support we are ensuring that future generations get to love our corner of the state too!
Share Your Photos! – We love seeing photos of our preserves, Clear Lake, and the surrounding township. More importantly we’d love to use your photos in future newsletters, social media posts, and other marketing materials. Please email us photos of our beautiful region!

Personal Stewardship – We encourage you to take care of your land and water resources in a responsible manner to help protect our corner of the state. A few easy ways to take personal responsibility are to:

Pick up your pet’s waste,
Use phosphorous free fertilizer,
Leave a buffer along the lake edge where you do not apply chemicals,
Dispose of yard waste (leaves, grass clippings) properly,
Properly dispose of any chemicals- not on the ground or in the lake,
Install glacial stone along your concrete seawall,
Harvest your rainwater by installing a rain chain, rain barrel, or rain garden,
Avoid feeding the ducks, geese, and swans,
Remove invasive species from your property,
(Not sure what to pull? Here’s a link to information on several common invasive species in our community)
Avoid using soaps, detergents, shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste in the lake,
When operating your boat at high speeds, or when wakeboarding or wakesurfing at slow speeds, distance yourself away from the shore to avoid stirring up the bottom,
and Donate to the Conservancy - Giving at Every Level Counts!
