Welcome to the North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy
North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy (NOHLC) is a private, non-profit, community supported, citizen run organization with 47 years experience in preserving open space in northwest Oakland County and nearby communities. Over 1,500 acres have been preserved in six townships and two counties, with parcels ranging from a half acre to over 250 acres.  Since 1972, our mission has been to conserve the woods, fields, streams and other natural resources in the headwaters area of the Clinton, Shiawassee, Huron and Flint Rivers.
