Another county in Michigan is looking to acquire additional tracts of land to add to one of its county parks. The bid to keep 91 acres of dune land adjacent to Meinert County Park is ongoing thanks to the Land Conservancy of Western Michigan.
According to the Muskegon Chronicle, “It’s the same organization that recently helped raise money to secure the purchase of a 68-acre natural area in Laketon Township, including Lost Lake, so it can be added to Muskegon State Park.”
The Land Conservancy is picking up where the Trust for Public Land bailed. All involved are hoping to get a grant to cover about 70% of the cost of the purchase from Michigan’s DNR. “Officials from the Land Conservancy also made a presentation to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund board last week, featuring information about the property and its intended use.”
Besides grants, the property is being reappraised. There are efforts to raise local contributions because many in the area do not want to see that land developed. And the two different families who have put the 45 and 46 acre parcels up for sale may drop the price to see the land protected as part of Meinert Park.
It’s great to see locals doing something to conserve beautiful untouched land in their area. The article says, “The land, on the southeast border of Meinert Park, is completely undeveloped. It’s rugged and hilly in spots, has lots of wildlife, and includes a lake and many existing hiking trails.”
