Where we preserve special places around Green Lake, together.
Welcome to
Green Lake Conservancy
We are Green Lake's Local Land Trust
As the area’s only all-volunteer, non-profit Land Trust; the Green Lake Conservancy invests in natural capital by offering watershed protection through acquisition, gift, or conservation easement. Lands that have been placed in trust and which support forests and prairies, wetlands and shorelands are protected forever. With over 25 years of land trust service, the Green Lake Conservancy continues to hold steadfast, permanently protecting special places in the Green Lake watershed and surrounding county.

GLC Acquires Powell Springs
The Green Lake Conservancy has recently acquired Powell Springs, a heavily-wooded property, located near Mitchell Glen on the Southeast ridge of Green Lake. This property is home to one of the largest springs feeding Green Lake, Powell Spring, and will soon give local residents and visitors another place of public access to enjoy its natural beauty. To do this, we need your support to help assist in the purchase cost of the property and restore the land back to its natural state.
