Founded in 1952, our mission is to protect Michigan’s rare, threatened and endangered species and imperiled natural communities for future generations.

MNA protects an unparalleled statewide network of more than 175 nature sanctuaries, from the Indiana/Ohio border to the Keweenaw Peninsula in the U.P.

We are working with schools and teachers across the state to inspire children to become Michigan’s next generation of conservation leaders.

Consumers Energy Foundation recognizes MNA's work protecting Michigan's rare, threatened, and endangered plants and animals.
