Scientific research and educational program are conducted at both preserves. The MKC is the only land trust group in Michigan dedicated solely to preservation of examples of Michigan's unique geology and associated ecosystems. Like other similar groups involved in plant, animal, and habitat protection, the MKC receives no government support, but relies solely on YOU, the public, for its funding. One way to support the MKC is by becoming a member. Dues finance the operating costs of the MKC, and many members volunteer their time in the work of the Conservancy.
Members receive a regular newsletter and notices of meetings and programs.
All except Youth and Institutional Members may hold office and chair committees. However, the preservation work of the MKC is based upon donations for buying lands and managing their features for appreciation, protection and study. We need your help to preserve Michigan's karst lands. The future of the natural history of Michigan will be enriched by your generosity.
