Community Forestry Grant

Recently, the Township was awarded a $1,375 grant by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the creation of an irrigated, educational tree grove at Prairie Wolf Park in 2010. A second request for $1,580 was not awarded. This amount was to be used for the purchase and installation of tree identification and interpretive signage. Although the second request was not awarded, the Township is committed to making this project happen. If any resident or business is interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the Township Park and Trail Fund to help cover the $1,580 cost, please contact the Township Treasurer for more information. These contributions will be used for the tree grove project or other projects within the park. Private donations have helped past projects such as the paving of the trail within the park and the creation of the overlook area. Thank you!
