Strategic Plan

2023-2026

UPLC's mission, vision, and values are woven into the goals and objectives of our Strategic Plan. It will guide our focus and priorities over the coming years as we aim to bridge the gap between conservation challenges and opportunities across the Upper Peninsula. We are encountering an ever-growing need to accelerate our conservation efforts— we will meet this call by strengthening our current operations, expanding our programming, and deepening our engagement with all facets of our community.

Permanent, Legal Protection of critical conservation lands

Conserve forest and water resources that contribute to contiguous conservation lands, establish riparian buffers, protect wildlife & migration corridors, and provide ecosystem services to people such as drinking water filtration.

Work with partners to develop a data-driven mapping tool to identify priority areas for land protection and to support the project selection process.

Ensure that perpetuity is at the core of our protections by growing our Stewardship Endowment Fund using innovative funding sources, evaluating older projects against current standards, and by fostering a culture of communal land stewardship.
