GLACIAL LAKES CONSERVANCY
Glacial Lakes Conservancy, is a non-profit land trust based right here in Sheboygan. A land trust is a non-government community-based organization that actively works to permanently conserve land. GLC is part of the national Land Trust Alliance which totals over 60 million acres of saved land from development.
GLC is one of 40 land trusts in the state of Wisconsin. We were established in 1996, serve 5 counties: Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Calumet and Kewaunee and have permanently saved over 2,140 acres of land from development. We own 5 preserves that we manage and hold 29 conservation easements on private lands. Conservation easements are legal contracts with landowners to permanently protect their property from development. Our mission is “To permanently preserve and protect land and water resources for future generations”. We do this by acquiring lands, creating conservation easements, executing land management plans and developing engaging events for the communities we serve.

Trail Preservation Program
GLC is excited to kick off our Trail Preservation Program, which will raise funding towards the maintenance of our five preserves! Of the 2,000 acres that GLC has helped protect, we own and manage 304 acres—meaning we are responsible for taking care of the trails and land. Our active land management activities include keeping our trails mowed and clear of brush and fallen trees, checking and fixing trail conditions after a large storm or heavy snow, removing invasive species from the land, and hosting events for our community.
Every $5, $10, $15 donated adds up to help us keep the Preserve trails well maintained throughout the year for our community. This program will serve as a fundraiser for anything and everything that helps us maintain our beautiful trails for our community to enjoy: gas for our tractor, auger, and weed whacker, clippers and saws for trail pruning and invasive species removal, staff time to actively manage the land as well as plan events and volunteer opportunities for our community, and other general operating expenses to maintain our preserves. Thank you! Send checks payable to Glacial Lakes Conservancy at 529 Ontario Ave. Sheboygan, WI 53081 or donate online using the button below. |
