Welcome to DeVries Nature Conservancy!

Nestled on the banks of the Shiawassee River just five minutes from downtown Owosso, the fresh air and calming spaces of DeVries Nature Conservancy bring nature close to home. Open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year, our grounds are a great place to experience the four seasons, whether by foot, snowshoe, cross-country ski, kayak or canoe!
