GINLC Newsletter: News from Lansing

We are glad to report that the Conservancy received another 7 wooded lots in the Grosse Ile Woods subdivision from the State of Michigan land bank. We now own and protect from development a total of 47 lots or about 7 acres in that subdivision. Together with the open space properties of the Township, the major portion of this woodland that extends north of Horse Mill from the Thoroughfare Canal to almost Meridian is protected.

The plat of this subdivision was originally designed with mostly small 50'x 130' lots and very few were ever developed.

The pretty wooden house on the corner of Meridian and Horse Mill, we believe, was the original sales office. The woodland is mostly old growth with some magnificent old trees in the interior.
