NOHLC Supports Headwaters Trails in their effort

to raise funds for property along the Shiawassee

2008 NOHLC Winter Newsletter

  

VISIT THE KIMBALL SANCTUARY TODAY! Photos above taken by John Meyland in late May 2008 at the Nels Kimball Sanctuary in Clarkston (map below). This pristine 41 acre nature preserve, forever protected for the public benefit by the North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy, is now open to the public for “gentle enjoyment”. Wood chip paths, rest stops as well as interpretive signage* aid visitors and engage young and old with the many natural features found within this jewel of natural beauty. The headwaters of the Clinton River wind through the preserve on their way to the Great Lakes.

Special thanks to Volunteers of North Oakland Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for their hundreds of hours of volunteer work helping to ready the 41 acre site for public enjoyment. *Signage was made possible through a generous gift in memory of Mrs. Jewel Schmude from her family.

The North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy (NOHLC) is a private, non-profit, member supported, citizen run organization with 35 years’ experience in preserving open space in northwest Oakland County.

Over 1,100 acres have been preserved in five townships, with parcels ranging from 1/2 acre to over 100 acres.

  Nature Nugget  

Did you know?  While most of the plants you grow in your garden are well-behaved, some go crazy in the wild and create havoc for the local wildlife that depend on the native plants that get crowded out by these invasives. Some common offenders are: English Ivy, Crown Vetch, Myrtle, and Vinca Minor. Honeysuckle and Autumn Olive are among the worst.
