Twenty years after hosting its first grassroots event in an aircraft hangar, the Livington Land Conservancy’s annual live fundraiser, Land on the Horizon, is set for Friday, Oct. 11, 2024 at Chemung Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Howell.
The event, which begins at 7 p.m., is fun, fast-paced and lively, featuring live and silent auctions, raffles, a wine pull, a chef-prepared dinner buffet and cash bar. The evening will celebrate the natural beauty and rural character of the Livingston County area and support the over 750 acres of quality natural areas and productive farmland properties the LLC protects.
The Conservancy preserves land as owned nature preserves or as conservation easements on behalf of private landowners. Highlights of the evening will include a presentation on the Conservancy’s recent Charles & Albert Parker Families Nature Preserve Restoration and Public Access Project owned by the Brighton District Library, and an update on pending land protection projects.
Individual tickets are $75 each (if purchased by Sept. 27; $85 each after) and can be purchased at livingstonlandconservancy.org or by calling (810) 229-3290. Sponsors and donated auction items are also still being accepted.
All net proceeds from the event go the Conservancy’s Land Acquisition and Stewardship funds that support 17 different protected properties in Livingston County.
An all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1994, the Livingston Land Conservancy mission is to protect the natural heritage and rural character of the greater Livingston County area by preserving natural lands and productive farmland, and to promote an appreciation and understanding of the environment for the long-term benefit of the public. The organization is completely self-supporting by memberships and donations and receives no financial funding from taxpayers or municipalities.
