WILD SHORES

A new program of the Conservancy’s, the Wild Shores Initiative aims to acquire large, natural shoreline properties, primarily in the Upper Peninsula and on many of the islands, where there are significant conservation opportunities at affordable prices. These lands are typically robust in conservation value and are essential areas for many species, including migratory birds. This initiative will be the home to a revolving group of worthy shoreline projects.

PROTECT WHAT IS GREAT

There are currently five properties in the Wild Shores Initiative:

• A combined total of 282 acres 

• 628 feet of shoreline on Lake Superior

• 1,300 feet of shoreline on the St. Mary’s River

• 1,600 feet of shoreline on Lake Huron

• 2,331 feet of shoreline on Whitney Bay (Lake Huron)

• 1,250 feet of shoreline on Lake Huron’s Moscoe Channel                       
• 1,200 feet of frontage on Flowers Creek

CURRENT PROJECT GOAL: $1,500,000
