The DeVries Nature Conservancy is a nonprofit organization created through the estate of Jack and Frances DeVries. It was the DeVries' intent that their property endure forever as a place for the community to enjoy; dedicated to preserving the natural history and agricultural heritage of Shiawassee County. Located just five minutes from downtown Owosso, our 4+ miles of trails take visitors through 136 acres of farmland, forest, restored prairie, and floodplain along the beautiful Shiawassee River. Visit us from dawn until dusk year-round for a great place to hike, cross country ski, explore Michigan's natural history, or commune with nature. Whether you want to walk your dog, have an educational field trip, or spend volunteer hours, we have many great ways to get involved.
