Land Conservation in Michigan

The Conservation Almanac includes comprehensive data on State and Federal land conservation activity in Michigan, a profile of state programs and policies, and a rundown of LandVote ballot measure activity.

In the tables to the right, the Conservation Almanac provides a snapshot look at land conservation in Michigan. It includes activity from 1998 - 2008, using the two most common available metrics: public dollars spent and acres conserved. It also depicts how much of the state's landmass is permanently protected at present, relative to the U.S. overall, and a comparison of development versus land conservation in recent years.
