Show Notes

On this episode of the Max Loves Midland Show, host Kevin LaDuke sits down with Lily Kelsey, Conservation Outreach Coordinator for Little Forks Conservancy, to talk about her journey from growing up in Flint to finding her calling in Midland. Lily shares how athletics, time spent outdoors, and the Flint water crisis shaped her passion for conservation and community work. She explains the mission of Little Forks Conservancy, the importance of protecting rivers and natural spaces, and how conservation is about both preserving land and building connections with people. From favorite preserves and kayaking spots to the role of collaboration, diversity, and accessibility in nature, Lily paints a picture of why Midland is such a unique place for outdoor recreation and community engagement.
