Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy
Overview
Our Mission
The Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy (UPLC) works with landowners to permanently protect the conservation values of natural areas, working farms and forests, and recreational lands in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. UPLC performs this work for the benefit of the public by holding conservation easements on private lands, establishing conservation preserves on UPLC-owned lands, and by conducting educational programs.
