There is a special wetland here in North Oakland County that supports a tiny butterfly called the Poweshiek Skipperling.  NOHLC has kicked off a campaign to preserve the special and rare fen habitat it calls home. With less than 100 individuals left, it is up to us to give this federally-endangered butterfly a fighting chance! Beautiful and important to the survival of vast amounts of life, you will be helping to forever save this gem that is in your backyard.

To learn more, visit our
​Save the Poweshiek page.


Check out the natural beauty of this incredible wetland ​
and join the preservation effort!
