Every one of our members is unique and so are their stories. Each week, the Group Member Spotlight takes a behind-the-scenes look at one of our group/business sponsorship members to showcase their story of who they are and what they do!
Our Next Group Spotlight is….Western Reserve Land Conservancy
Western Reserve Land Conservancy is dedicated to providing the people of their region with essential natural assets through land conservation and restoration. Created in 2006 by the largest merger of land trusts in the United States, with eight northern Ohio trusts joining forces to form a private, nonprofit conservation organization. It then grew again by merging with Grand River Partners, Waite Hill Land Conservancy, and Little Beaver Creek Land Foundation. Today there are 13 organizations and includes 28 counties.
The people in the Western Reserve Organization are conservationists, urban planners, biologists, lawyers, communicators, real estate professionals, fundraisers, and public policy experts. This setup has given them the team they need to conserve, sustain, and develop land for the betterment of the community, as well as educate the public on the importance of conservation and sustainability. They have created a place with stunning views, clean rivers and lakes, miles, and miles of connected trails for hiking, biking, skiing, and horseback riding, and a safe Great Lake, for swimming, fishing, and boating.
Take a moment to learn more about their conservation efforts, how they connect the public to their efforts and sustain and protect the land by visiting their website, following them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or watching them in action on their YouTube channel.

By being a group sponsor of your county Farm Bureau you help us continue to protect the future of agriculture, promote Ohio agriculture and support local youth!
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
