Southeast Michigan Land Conservancy (SMLC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving and managing wildlife habitat in order to protect the environment and provide scenic enjoyment. Founded in 1988, SMLC works to preserve natural lands and open spaces in the southeast Michigan region. Their service area covers seven counties, including Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St.

Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne. SMLC protects land through various means, including ownership, conservation easements, and partnerships with local government agencies. They also engage in regular monitoring and stewardship projects to ensure the long-term protection of the land.

With a committed Board of Directors and dedicated staff, SMLC operates in compliance with nonprofit law and the Land Trust Alliance's Land Trust Standards and Practices. Volunteers are essential to SMLC's mission, and they offer opportunities for individuals to get involved and support their conservation efforts.
