The Raisin Valley Land Trust
The RVLT is a local, private, non-profit, corporation dedicated
to the preservation of natural areas and farmland in the River
Raisin watershed. Founded in 1992, we rely on donations of
time, money, conservation easements and property to meet our
goals. We also participate in local efforts aimed at maintaining
our rural communities.
The RVLT is recognized by the State of Michigan and the IRS
as a non-profit, tax exempt organization.
The RVLT offers individual landowners a legal, voluntary
and independent way to control land development. The donation
of property or conservation easements to the RVLT guarantees
valuable natural and historic resources are preserved for
future generations.
The RVLT's board is made up of residents from communities
within the River Raisin watershed, and assumes guardianship
of easements and properties donated to the RVLT.
For more information about easements visit the Little
Traverse Conservancy. This easement is based on the the
2000 Michigan model conservation easement kept there.
