CHARLEVOIX COUNTY — The Little Traverse Conservancy is launching a campaign to permanently protect 654 acres of land in Charlevoix County, known as “White Mountain.”
According to an April 22 news release, the land features rolling wooded hills, deep forests, and rugged terrain that provide vital wildlife habitat and offer sweeping views of Lake Charlevoix and Boyne City.
“This storm reminded us how powerful nature can be,” said Kieran Fleming, LTC Executive Director, “and it can be incredibly resilient if we take care of it. That’s why it matters to protect the wild places we still have. White Mountain is one of the most significant conservation opportunities in our region, and now is the time to act.”
LTC is calling on the community to help bring this vision to life by donating at landtrust.org/whitemountain. With your support, this land can be safeguarded forever—as a refuge for wildlife, a source of peace and wonder, and a place for future generations to explore and cherish.
How You Can Help
LTC welcomes support from individuals, families, businesses, and foundations. Every donation — large or small — will help protect this land and fund its long-term care. Of the $3 million needed, $2.4 million has already been raised, and LTC has until May 31 to raise the rest.
Your gift will help:
- Permanently protect 654 acres in a natural state;
- Preserve critical wildlife habitat and forest ecosystems; and
- Open the land for future public enjoyment
“We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect this landscape,” said Caitlin Donnelly, LTC Director of Land Protection. “In a time when so much feels uncertain, conserving this land offers something enduring—something we can pass on.”
