about alpa
The Asylum Lake Preservation Association (ALPA) is a volunteer association dedicated to the preservation of the Asylum Lake Preserve in Kalamazoo, MI. The Preserve is a 274-acre treasure that is managed by Western Michigan University and guided by goals within the the Declaration of Conservation Restrictions: Promote Ecosystem Integrity and Natural Aesthetics, Ensuring Passive Recreation and Supporting Research and Education.
While many people come to the Preserve for rest and renewal, few understand its fragile nature and history. It is the one place in the city where the animals and plants, not the humans and visitors, are the main elements, and this is why it is called a preserve and not a park. Learn more about ALPA here.

You can see that this property is not a preserve by accident – many people have worked long and hard to keep it this way. Please consider becoming a member of Asylum Lake Preservation Association for only $10 annually, which helps us continue the work we do. We promise to never share your e-mail address with anyone and will not bother you with frequent e-mails. We will update you on what is happening in the Preserve and alert you to opportunities to help guard and improve this beautiful treasure.
