Environmental Stewardship

Our approach to environmental stewardship is captured in our Vision statement, with primary emphases on restoring and sustainably preserving the natural beauty of our Michigan dune grasslands and forest, and ensuring the integrity of the containment area.

Native Plants

​Preservation of native plants involves both the reintroduction of pre-European grasses and plants, along with the protection of forest areas, and the eradication of invasive plant species that spread uncontrolled without action that keeps them in check.

Invasive Species

Non-Native Invasive Plants
Non-native invasive plants are undesirable.  They displace native plants, degrade wildlife habitat, spread to other properties, and cause long-term property degradation.  Some non-native plants form mono-cultures which take over native plants and deprive the native plants of space, light, and nutrients and, as a result, deprive beneficial insects and birds of food sources.  These aggressive non-native plants are called non-native invasive plants.
