For 30 years, KLT members have helped protect special places throughout the Western UP. 💚

By supporting KLT, our members do even more: They help us care for the land, keep these special places open to the public, and connect our community with nature through our event programming.

October is KLT's Annual Member Drive—so now is a great time to join or renew your commitment. Check the comments for more information on how to become a member and membership benefits.

And next week, KLT staff, board directors, members, and the public will gather to celebrate 30 years of impact at KLT's 30th Anniversary Annual Meeting. We invite you to join us!

Farewell to a friend and founder

It is with a mixture of profound gratitude and sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Terry Kinzel, a pillar of the Keweenaw Land Trust and of our community, along with joy in celebrating a life well lived.

It was Terry who first gathered friends at his home in discussions that broadened and led to the formation of the Keweenaw Land Trust.

In these photos, we see snapshots of the joy and passion Terry brought to our community: Standing proudly by the trailhead sign at Churning Rapids—land he and his wife Sue Ellen protected through KLT. Bringing smiles at the HorseTail Scramble. Waiting to award a passionate community member with the Floyd and Martha Kinzel Heart and Hands Award, which Terry established in memory of his parents.

For our full statement on Terry's life and legacy, click the link in the comments below.

Together, let’s commit to carry on Terry's passion and advocacy for a community in which all, wildlife and humans together, can thrive. 💚

October is buckthorn management month at KLT! 🍃

Many of you helped us "high cut" buckthorn in the spring. It was a great start to our buckthorn management, helping reduce the spread of buckthorn over the summer.

This month, we're heading back to a few local favorite nature areas to do a second round of cutting and stump treatments. And we need you! 🫵

Join our stew crew for our next Drop-in Volunteer Workday with KLT:
📆 Saturday, October 10th
🕙 10 am – 1 pm
📍 Paavola Wetlands Nature Area

Wildland fire skills in action! 🔥 💪 This weekend, the Michigan Technological University Wildland Fire Club helped our “stew crew” clean up trails at Boston Creek Nature Area.

They added a slight switchback to a steep part of the trail to make for an easier ascent, and installed wooden posts to make the trail more visible for your winter snowshoe adventures! Thank you for your work!

Fall is a beautiful time to visit Boston Creek. Have you checked out the new trail? Let us know in the comments!
