Now until the end of the year all qualifying donations will be matched 2-1. That means that if you donate $500.00, the J.A. Woollam Foundation will donate $1000 to match! That’s $1,500 that will help us protect land and water in northeast Michigan forever.
As partners conserving our natural resources we are grateful for the work of Anglers of the Au Sable and this amazing victory.

Check out our progress so far on the boardwalk at the Sturgeon River Preserve. Big thanks to our Volunteers and our Donors, Home Depot and the Otsego County Community Foundation. Still a lot of work ahead of us but happy with the progress.
Did you forget something important? We’ve all done it before – remembered to do something only to find out it’s too late! Like having your donation matched by the J. A. Woollam Foundation $50,000 grant.
Well, we met and then exceeded our goal because lots of folks gave early and very generously! Now here’s the GREAT news for all you procrastinators out there. Because we have once again exceeded expectations, the match grant has been increased to a NEW, highest-ever amount of $70,000!
YOU are the reason this happened. YOU are the reason we are able to protect and preserve so many special places in northeast Michigan! YOUR partnership is why there can still be an “Up North” we all love!
Thanks to you and the J.A. Woollam Foundation for making 2018 our best year so far!

On February 9, 2018 HeadWaters Land Conservancy took the trailer filled with snowshoes, that was purchased through the United Healthcare grant, to the Vanderbilt area schools. We were very excited to give all the students an opportunity to try out snowshoes if they had never been on them before.We had a great time hiking through the school forest. It was a beautiful and fun winter day in northeast Michigan.
How can you help families and the environment with $18,000? Well, you can get an enclosed trailer and fill it with nets, plastic pans, forceps and magnifying glasses. Binoculars, animal track identification stamps, books and games. Nature focused books, animal and plant ID guides, snowshoes for all ages and winter sleds.
This grant is a first of its kind for HeadWaters Land Conservancy and Kids Outdoors Otsego (KOO) as partners in bringing healthy, nature inspired, year-round outdoor educational activities to northeast Michigan.
Thank you to everyone who donated to the J.A. Woollam Match Grant. We had an original match of $45,000 and met that goal very quickly. Then John Woollam “upped” the match to $60,000 and again we were able to reach that goal for the match.
The J.A. Woollam match grant is very important to HeadWaters Land Conservancy. Thank you John Woollam, Together We Save Land Forever!
