The snow is melting, migratory birds are returning, and soon, we’ll see cherry trees bloom. Spring is here!
Celebrate the seasonal shift, Leelanau, and all who call it home, with our annual Earth Week celebration.
Every year the Leelanau Conservancy hosts Earth Week, a series of fun, free events that we hope you’ll join us for. We have hikes, volunteer opportunities, social events and an end of the week concert at Tandem Ciders to wrap it all up!
