Protecting A Legacy: Keweenaw Heartlands Project with The Nature Conservancy (The Crossing Place) 

In 2022, The Nature Conservancy purchased 32,600 acres of working forests in the horn of the Keweenaw Peninsula, ensuring a legacy of dedicated conservation. Dubbed "The Heartlands," these acres encompass rich, biodiverse landscapes intertwined with active Keweenaw communities, publicly accessible preserves, trails, and outdoor recreation.
Working towards a future that protects these dynamic forests and waterways, while enshrining public access, has seen The Nature Conservancy working intimately with local Keweenaw community members, the State of Michigan, and many who love the Keweenaw.
Julia Petersen, TNC Project Manager in the Keweenaw Peninsula, speaks on the Heartlands Project and how to discover and appreciate these lands for yourself.
