Donated to the CWC in December 2023, the G. Charles and Janice L. Hubscher Preserve is located along the Chippewa River in Deerfield Township, Isabella County.
This 18 acre property consists of a variety of habitat types including old fields, floodplain forest, and more than 1,400 feet of Chippewa River frontage. It provides suitable habitat for a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic species. Hubscher Preserve will be managed to maximize the natural growth of native species, preserve scenic views, serve as protected wildlife habitat, and provide nature education and non-motorized recreational opportunities.
The majority of Hubscher Preserve is located on the east bank of the Chippewa River along M-20 (Remus Road) between Littlefield Road and Gilmore Road. Parking for and access to the property is currently roadside along the south side of M-20. There is no road access for the portion of the preserve located on the west bank of the river.
