From the Legacy Land Conservancy family to yours – Happy Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for you and your support.  Wishing you peace, strength, and warmth this Thanksgiving. 

Even with all that 2020 has presented us with, there is still so much the Legacy staff is thankful for…  

Krista Jacob and her partner

Krista – This year I’m finding myself grateful for the seemingly endless amount of wild and natural spaces Washtenaw County and Michigan have to offer. The forests, meadows, dunes, and rivers of this state have provided me with so much perspective and peace during a tumultuous year, and I’ve been lucky enough to share them with the people I love.

Ann – I am thankful for all the amazing people in my life.

Diana, Mary, and Deb Kern (L to R)

Diana – I am thankful for my family and friends who have been my “quarantine pod members” during this difficult pandemic year and always for everyone that supports our work at Legacy, especially during COVID-19!
