Lansing Regional Chamber Mixer
Michigan Wildlife Conservancy

Do you want to learn of an amazing place to have a Board
Meeting, Wedding Reception or other gathering?
At the Lansing Regional Chamber Mixer, we had the pleasure of gathering
at the Bengel Wildlife Center at the Michigan Wildlife conservancy.
We gathered in the DeVleig Conservation Hall. This is a large versatile room that connects
with a walkout patio (with a roof to keep out the rain) that looks out onto a
magnificent natural wetland view. They
roasted a pig and had various other hors d’oeuvres to eat. I estimate that around 100 local business people
were in attendance.
After the guests spent some time mingling, John Ropp, the
director of the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy gave a short talk and treated us
to a tour of the building! The following
rooms are in the upstairs area.
He led us to the Anderson Great hall which is has a
beautiful Fieldstone fireplace, maple floors and plush furniture. It would be a wonderful place to have drinks
or engage in a discussion by the fire!
The Bengel Boardroom is a beautiful Executive conference
room with a boardroom table and cushioned chairs. There is a wonderful view overlooking
Priggooris Lake and a marsh. It also is
equipped with a/v and teleconferencing capabilities and a wet bar.
Another room is the Hendy Conference Room, which also provides
a wet bar.
You can lease these rooms individually (including the
DeVleig Conservation hall) or various combinations of them.
The Conservancy leases out these rooms to help to fund its
operations. It is dedicated to the
restoration of a variety of wildlife habitats.
The Bengel Wildlife Center is set on 259 acres of nature. People can hike through the grounds and see
the wildflowers, prairie and animals native to the center. In the winter, you can also ski the trails.
They have done many projects to restore national
habitat. Through the Conservancy’s
efforts, Michigan has actually increased its wetland acreage over the last 30
years. The Conservancy also provides
many educational workshops.
The Michigan Wildlife Conservancy has a beautiful facility
for hosting your gathering!
You can learn all about the facilities for rent and the
wonderful programs at their website.
You will truly be amazed by the beauty of the center and its
available rooms. You can call at 517-641-7677 to learn more.
