DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, August 9th from 1:00PM to 3:00PM for a hike at one of the CWC’s underappreciated preserves.

Expect to see lots of butterflies and other pollinators! \nAs there are no trails throughout most of the preserve\, long pants are recommended. \nPeterson Natural Area is located near Big Rapids on the corner of 180th avenue and 11 Mile Road. The parking lot is along 180th Avenue. \nDirections to the preserve http://bit.ly/PetersonNaturalArea \nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Hickory Hill Easement Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour of one of our favorite conservation easements! \nHickory Hill Easement is located in Clare County\, northwest of the Village of Farwell along M-115. The property encompasses more than 500 acres of mostly forested land and includes a lake in its center. This property was once owned by local lumberman Josiah Littlefield and has remained in the possession of his descendants for over 100 years. \nThe CWC currently works with individual landowners to protect the conservation values of 46 privately-owned properties through conservation easements. because these properties are privately-owned\, they are rarely open to the public. As part of the celebration of our 40th year\, we have arranged with a couple of our easement landowners to showcase these properties to the public. \nBecause this walk is taking place on private property\, we are limiting it to no more than 20 participants. Register for the walk by calling us at (989) 772-5777. Directions to the easement property will be given to those who register. \nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Nature Journal Club @ Weting Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we embark on a journey to slow down\, observe\, and document our surroundings through the art of nature journaling! Our next meeting will take place at Weting Preserve in Clare County on June 10th at 11:00 a.m.\n\nWe will visit a CWC preserve each meeting and go on a short hike to find the perfect spot to settle in and let our creativity flow. We will guide you through the process of nature journaling while you harness the power of observation to deepen your understanding of the environment. Discover how to create a personal keepsake of your outdoor adventures\, from sketching intricate details to recording your thoughts and reflections. Swap stories\, exchange tips\, and inspire others to continue exploring and protecting our natural world.\n\nPlease bring your own supplies: a notebook or sketchbook and pens\, pencils\, markers- or whatever your medium of choice is!\n\nDirections to the Preserve: https://bit.ly/WetingPreserve_directions\n\nBe aware that GPS has been known to take folks to the wrong side of Monroe Rd that is blocked by a gate and you will have to do some backtracking.\n\nEither make sure your GPS is taking you to the preserve traveling from the WEST or under the assumption the majority of participants will be traveling from south or east of the preserve\, this is the recommended route:\n\nTake 115 heading NW to Lake Station Ave (turn North or Right). This turns into Ashard Rd follow the curve (North or Right) to continue on Grass Lake Ave. When that curves to the East take an immediate Left turn (West) on East Norway Ave\, follow this until you come to Monroe Rd. Turn East (or Right) on Monroe and continue straight on the seasonal dirt road. You will see a two-track to the right\, DO NOT take that. Weting Preserve will be on the South (Right) side of the road soon after.\n\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn
