HeadWaters Land Conservancy is a Michigan-based nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting remaining undisturbed natural resources in northeast Michigan. Through a collaborative model that includes a staff, board, volunteers, and members, the organization pursues land acquisition, easements, planning, stewardship, and restoration to safeguard agricultural lands, forests, scenic landscapes, and vital freshwater resources such as swamps, streams, and lakes. It emphasizes community education, events, and volunteering as ways to connect people with the region’s natural heritage, while working with private landowners to conserve their land and heritage without disrupting family ownership. The conservancy operates within the environmental services sector, positioning itself as a local partner for conservation through strategic partnerships aimed at protecting historic areas, critical habitats, and public access to nature. A notable recent development includes leadership changes, with updates to the executive leadership occurring in 2021 and 2022, reflecting organizational continuity and ongoing program activity from its base in Gaylord, Michigan.
