The Little Traverse Conservancy has established a new education endowment and welcomed a new director of education.

The Sowing the Seeds Education Endowment , combined with the Andreae Brown Family Environmental Education Endowment Fund, creates the first fully endowed education program of any land trust in the nation, according to a community announcement.

This means the conservancy's outdoor education programs, such as guided hikes, school partnerships and hands-on experiences on the land, will be available to Northern Michigan children and families for generations to come.

The creation of the fully endowed education program was inspired by longtime conservancy supporters Ian and Sally Bund, who encouraged the organization to think big about the future of environmental education.
